RUBIX LOVE (5) returned from a 54-week absence for new trainer Chris Zintilis and did a wonderful job to get up by a bob of the head over 1000m at Dalby last start. Lightly raced mare who looks ready to go to a new level and win again. DUBAI DAME (3) had been racing well but blotted the copybook last time out when last of eight over 1300m at Coffs Harbour. Meets a softer line-up today so with McGuren taking over from a 1.5kg claimer she deserves another chance. FLYING BAT (1) last appeared when beaten a whisker over 1650m at Beaudesert on 2 November. Blinkers go on today for the first time which suggests he is ready to run a big race. THE LIGHT FANDANGO (2) worked home well for a midfield finish in a BM58 over 1200m at Coffs Harbour last time. This looks a far more suitable assignment.

    Returns from a 54-day let-up. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at Beaudesert Cl2-Sw on November 2 over 1650m, nose behind Maple Door with 58.5kg at $5. The start before that 3rd of 11 at Ipswich Cl1 on October 18 over 1680m, 2.75 len behind Twisted Mistress with 57.5kg at $26. Racing well and should give backers a sight again.

    Useful type. Most recently 5th of 11 at Coffs Harbour Ctry Cl1 on December 5 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Cantolago with 55kg at $17. Before that got back early 7th of 10 at this track Ctry Bm58 on November 28 over 1012m, slow going 3.5 len behind Bonavee with 58.5kg at $9.50. Won’t spend a penny in the run from the inside draw. Key chance who is expected to run well.

    Second run back. First-up after 13 months came from midfield and won by a nose at Dalby Mdn-Sw December 2 over 1000m in soft going defeating Similar Situation with 56.5kg at $5.50.

Heading the right way and should measure up again.

    Last start sat on the pace when 3rd of 9 at Coffs Harbour Cl1 on December 14 over 1415m, 6 len behind Golden Copper carrying 56kg at $13. The race before that settled well back; won by a nose at Kempsey Mdn-Sw November 30 over 1000m in soft going defeating Acireale Jayne with 55.5kg at $5.50. Minor claims.
