UP THE CREEK (3) lines up for the first time since August 7. Looking to emulate her win at Ellis Park when returning from a spell last prep. Should be hard to stop. MARGOINABUBBLEBATH (4) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish half a length away in second over 1207m at this track (Dirt). It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. MUSICAL PRAYER (1) settled well back but hit the line well to finish fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1207m here last time. Must be included. TAQDEER (6) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 4.5 lengths over 1207m at Penn National (Dirt). Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 34-day let-up. Most recently 4th of 9 at this track on September 25 over 1207m, 6 len behind Talkin In Cursive carrying 55kg at $7.77.

Mare returning from a spell and has won previously when first up. Finished off last campaign fourth of 7 at Ellis Park August 7 over 1408m, 5 len behind Progeny carrying 56kg at $2.05. Previous preparation first-up won by 2.5 len Ellis Park July 10 over 1207m defeating Final Shipman with 55.5kg at $3.42. Could prove too smart for these.
