MONTE SUPREME (12) fifth-up today and ready to win after looming strongly out wide before tiring late when second over 1300m at Rosehill in this company on November 9. Should be able to race a little closer here and worth noting Berry keeps the ride. MISS HADES (2) has the smart record of four wins from 11 starts and bounced back to form with a fighting third over 1500m at Rosehill on November 13. Backs-up quickly and senior rider on here from the inside gate. Hard to hold out. FUMIKO (16) fitter now third-up and will appreciate the weight drop after being anchored with the 58.5kg when fifth over 1200m here on October 26. Ready for the trip and has solid each way prospects. DIRECT FIRE (6) pushed forward from the wide draw and fended off all challengers when a game 1.2 len winner over 1300m at Rosehill in this grade on November 9. Poorly drawn again and meets a stronger line up today. Place claims best. The chances don't end there.
