MOTOSCAFO (5) finished seventh when when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5½f at Gosford after racing on the pace for much of the way. Expected to be in this for a long way. LOVE THE CUBE (1) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when third at Kembla Grange over 5f, beaten 0.7 lengths. Cherry-ripe now. The testing material. FLYING EMBERS (4) is back from a lay-off of five-and-a-half months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 6f contest at Newcastle by a nose. Looks ready to run a big race following two recent trials. Capable of playing a big role. VERAVINO (3) recorded her first win last start over 5½f at this track, getting home by 2.5 lengths. Anna Roper was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. One of the likely contenders despite the step up in grade.
