LOMBADINA (9) is back after a break of 12 weeks. Looking to emulate her win at Bunbury at the beginning of last prep. One of the genuine hopes in the race. THERMOSPHERE LAD (4) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 2.25 lengths over 1200m at Bunbury. Will be better for that latest run and is among the winning hopes again. EN PLEIN AIR (10) has returned in good order this preparation. Opened with a second at Pinjarra Scarpside two starts back then scored by a nose last time out over 1200m at Bunbury. Likely to be in the finish again. REGAL SERVICE (12) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1200m at Bunbury. Backmarker who gets home hard. Not to be discounted.
