PAWKY (1) returns after a lay-off of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 7½f at this track. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. QUEEN MACHA (2) lifted strongly to salute by half a length three runs back at this track (Synthetic) before filling a minor placing at her last two starts. Should camp just off the leaders. Will give a great sight. MINT EDITION (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fifth in a 1m1/2f contest at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. ROYAL DAME (7) has not appeared since she finished fourth over 1m at Aqueduct (Dirt) on October 22. Now under the care of new trainer Robert N Falcone Jr. Among the better hopes.
