HAPPY RATE (1) is back at the races for the first time since August 5. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1400m at this track. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. PETRICOR STRIPES (6) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 1400m at this track last time. Should be prominent from the outset. Best figures should see her run well. WITHORWITHOUTYOU (13) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1200m at this track. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MISS ROBERTS RIM (3) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 1100m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Worth another chance.
