ZOUBABY (11) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff she finished fourth over 5½f in the LR Woodlands Stakes at Scone. Looks up to the mark following a trial win at Rosehill. Has ability and sure to prove tough to beat. QUEEN GEE EM (5) is back after a break of six months. At the last run before the layoff she finished seventh over 4½f at this track. Good effort to kick-off last prep when in the money at this track over 4½f. Nicely placed and expected to go well. SIR TOM (2) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of eight months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 4½f at this track. Launched last prep with a minor placing at Beaumont (Newcastle) over 6f. Looks ready to run following a minor placing in a recent Wyong trial. Rates highly and is a chance to break through. PREORDAIN (1) returns after six-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a eighth over 6f at Kembla Grange. Tuned up with a fourth in a recent trial at Warwick Farm. Has ability and must be included in calculations.
