Solid tempo likely with Cool Storm, Pretty Penguin and Miss Rebel prominent. MISS REBEL (2) has gone to a new level this campaign and gets a much better set-up for this. Sat on the fast tempo when nailed late by the talented Miss Busslinger over 1280m at Muswellbrook. Back in trip and has genuine winning prospects. ISHIKARI (7) back in class when a slick on-pace winner over 1400m at Orange in fast time. Hard to stop in this vein of form and can overcome the awkward draw. PRETTY PENGUIN (9) had mixed luck this prep and saves her best for this trip. Tried hard with a close-up third over 1300m at Tocumwal. Must raise the bar but she has the talent to test some of these. COOL STORM (3) is ready to peak fourth-up. Sat on the good tempo with a game third over 1000m at Gosford in BM64 class. Proven at this level and sure to be thereabouts. PARTY DOLL (8) frustrating mare who finds an easier test deep into the campaign. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Rebel and Ishikari can fight it out.
