TWISTED STEEL (6) is a talented gelding who tackled a tougher race at his last run on November 15 and finished tenth behind Luana Miss over 6f in the LR Placid Ark Stakes at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Best figures should see him run well. NICCIMOTA (5) found the line nicely last start to get up for third over 5f at this track when coming back from a lay-off. Chanel Cooper who has two wins when partnering stays on. Should be in the finish. JUSTABITTAPRESS (8) was prominent at the bend and finished second last time over 5f at Bunbury when resuming from a lay-off, beaten half a length. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. RUN PATTIE RUN (10) is coming along nicely this prep, scoring by 0. 6 lengths last start over 6f at Bunbury. Likely to be there at the finish again.
