LUCKY I AM (10) finished second, beaten half a length, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f at Ascot after she was in contention on the turn. Has the ability to figure prominently. COUNTESS OF KENNA (7) resumes from a lay-off of eight months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 6f at this track. Good effort to launch last prep when in the money at Bunbury over 5f. Tuned up with a seventh in a recent trial at Belmont Park. Has ability and is a solid chance. AURORA QUEEN (12) is a maiden galloper resuming from a lay-off after finishing 12th over 7f at Geraldton at the latest appearance on November 27. Fitter for two lead-up trials, including a win. Shapes as one to consider. RED AUTUMN (3) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 1.2 lengths into fifth over 5f at Pinjarra. Capable of featuring prominently.
