ROTHROCK (8) was below her best last time, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths over 7¾f at Canterbury. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. TYSON'S DREAM (9) built on a nice third when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at Tamworth with a win over 7f at Tamworth three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by a neck. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is a big chance to make it two on the trot. PREFER TO SMILE (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she got a long way back over 1m2 1/2f at Wyong, beaten 6 lengths into seventh. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she will be hard to beat. GULF OF TOMINI (2) knuckled down strongly to get within 1.4 lengths of the winner in third last start over 7f at Tuncurry when fresh from a lay-off. Will drift back but wind up late. Solid claims on best form.
