PETRICOR STRIPES (1) resumes from a spell of five-and-a-half months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1200m at this track. Rates on top and is a great chance to break through. LA QUEMERITA (10) returns after nine weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a seventh over 1100m at La Plata. Good effort to launch last prep when in the money at La Plata over 1000m. No surprise if she was able to get off the mark. STRIKE CAT (2) is a five-year-old mare yet to find the frame after 13 runs. Safely held when resuming last start over 1000m at this track, finishing eighth and beaten 6 lengths. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Winning claims on best figures. MISS ROBERTS RIM (9) could only manage to finish sixth, beaten 4 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1000m at Palermo. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.
