AOLANI (5) is returning from a lay-off of 11 weeks. Finished fifth at Hamilton over 5½f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Tom Button. Sure to take some beating. BURNS TO EMBRACE (1) lines up for the first time since August 20. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 6¾f at Wyong. Has switched to the F W Wieland stable. Expect him to play a major role. ADMIRAL'S DAUGHTER (4) last appeared four weeks ago over 1m at Benalla when she finished fourth. This is her first run for the Bonnie Thomson stable. Worth plenty of thought. IMPERIUM (10) could only manage to finish eighth, beaten 6 lengths, at his latest appearance over 7f at this track after he was well back on straightening. Appeals as a top-four contender.
