APUNTAR (1) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't feature last start when 4. 5 lengths away in eighth over 7f at Eagle Farm. Faces an easier assignment so he is sure to be prominent. HEYOKA (5) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when third at Eagle Farm over 7f, beaten 1. 1 lengths. Meets easier opposition this time. Leading contender. ATELIER (8) returned from a lay-off three weeks ago when she was beaten 4 lengths into sixth over 6¾f at Beaumont (Newcastle). Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. ROCK HARD LOVE (4) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 2. 5 lengths away in eighth over 7f at Sunshine Coast. Capable of featuring prominently.
