WEST STAR (14) is racing well this campaign, including a last start win over 6½f in the G3 Northam Stakes to bring up two wins from three runs in the campaign. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Expecting a bold showing. WESTERN EMPIRE (1) should run fitter after turning in a fair race when resuming over 6f in The Quokka at Ascot. With the run under his belt the extra ground looks a plus and open to sharp improvement. BUSTLER (3) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on 14/12/2024, finishing ninth and beaten 4 lengths over 7f in the G3 Gold Rush at Ascot. Looks a strong top-three prospect. THE BOSS LADY (12) was beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth in a 6½f contest at Northam at her latest appearance. Finds a nice race and can atone.
