JAPANESE MIKI (5) made a nice return after four months at his latest appearance eight days ago, racing parked before finishing second behind a runaway winner at Globe Derby. Will be fitter for that so could go one better. BUSTNLOOSE (4) has been hard to fault of late, adding to a string of top-two finishes and making it two wins in a row when successful at his latest appearance at this circuit and distance, getting home by a nose. Big chance again. AFTER THE CHASE (3) hasn't been too far away since a fresh win in Victoria. Draws well so has to come into calculations. ELLA KATE (1) gets the ace draw and is worth some thought after her last-start fourth when resuming from a wider barrier.
