UNCUT GEM (8) is having her first run since winning by a nose seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 6f59yards at Taree. Has transferred to the Marcus Wilson stable over the break. Winning chance for the new barn. MADAME PEARL'S (13) ran below expectations last time at Warwick, finishing eighth and beaten 3.5 lengths starting at 5/1. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she cannot be underestimated. LITTLE CHARMER (10) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start when she did her best work late but found a couple better over 5¼f at Gold Coast Poly, beaten 2.5 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. PRADO (1) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 5½f at Beaudesert. One to consider.
