LADY CABERNET (6) did little and finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in tenth over 6f at this track last start after being prominent at the corner, a less impressive effort than her when resuming sixth at Ascot the run before. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. DIRTY CHAI (8) is a progressive galloper who is when resuming since finishing fifth over 7f at Belmont Park seven months ago. Looks to be back in good order following a recent trial placing. Has won when fresh from a lay-off in the past. Meets easier opposition this time. Will be hard to stop. RED REBEL (5) finished fifth two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 6f at Pinjarra, beaten only 1.4 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. LAND OF FIRE (3) gave away a considerable start over 5½f at Bunbury last time before hitting the line well to finish fourth. Warrants plenty of respect.
