CATYS QUEEN (4) resumed over 1200m and turned in a fair run to finish seventh at this track. Yet to miss the frame over this longer journey and expected to improve sharply. PEANUT BUTTER (6) resumes after a break of ten months. Did win at her only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1200m at this track. Key runner. MIRIAM STRIPES (3) continues to race well with a win two back at this track before finishing 0.3 lengths away in second last time over 1400m at Palermo. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. THALIA (9) last appeared on June 14 when a good fourth over 1600m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths, which was her only run of the campaign. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
