Stake: $13,450

LIFELIKE (4) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 15 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt). Has the ability to take care of this field. FIERCE CAT (6) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 13 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 805m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Likely contender with strong prospects. MITOLA (2) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 805m at this track after being in contention on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. PASA DOBLE (5) performed above expectations when resuming last time over 805m at this track (Dirt), finishing 0.3 lengths from the winner in second after starting at huge odds. Minor claims.

Second run back. First-up after eight months made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 at this track on March 27 over 805m, 0.3 len behind Cheers To Candy with 56.5kg at $22.50. Previously second-up ran last in a small field at Remington Park on August 14 over 1207m, 23 len behind To Too Twentytwo with 56kg at $17.10. Don't underestimate.
