RARE MOON (14) last appeared when she finished ninth over 1000m at Hawkesbury on August 22. Capable of playing a major role. OCEAN JOY (13) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 900m at Newcastle, beaten 2.75 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Tackling a more suitable race so she is a leading contender. BEST DEFENCE (1) is returning from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Finished fifth at Moree over 950m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Todd Howlett. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. OUR WARHORSE (9) resumes from a spell of five months. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 1100m at Wellington. Has ability so don't underestimate.
