RUSH HOUR (1) returned from a lay-off two weeks ago when he was in the firing line on the bend before being beaten 7 lengths into sixth over 6f at Wyong. Second up record is sound. Won't find this as tough so he is a leading player. DREAMS OF THUNDER (4) returned from a break last start with an all-the-way win over 5f at Hawkesbury, getting home by a nose. Jenny Duggan who has scored on her three times retains the mount. Bold showing expected. CANDY WOMEN (9) comes here off a break of five months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 5f at Canberra. Among the better hopes. MISSION RIDGE (11) was beaten 4. No surprise to see him in contention.
