BUSTER'S BABE (8) was well fancied on debut last start and was not far off the mark, finishing third and beaten 3 lengths over 6f at Bunbury. Should improve sharply and this looks a nice race. ESPRESSO TIME (3) finished out of the money but was not too far away when resuming last start over 5f at Ascot. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Expected to be in the finish. NISTIRITH (6) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last time over 5f at Mt Barker when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 0. 6 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. ROAMING AMERICA (5) stepped out for his debut over 5f at Northam back on October 5 and finished fifth, beaten 2 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement.
