SOLUTIONIST (11) her three runs back have been okay and she has a fitness edge over most of these. Began only fairly and gave away too much start when sixth over 1300m at Taree in the soft conditions last start. Gibbons keeps the ride and look for a better effort on the firmer surface. Solid top-three contender. DREAMS OF THUNDER (5) handy mare starting to put it all together. Resumed with a slick on-pace win over 1000m at Hawkesbury on December 8. Races best with her runs spaced and brings the right numbers here. INVASIVE DREAMS (4) promising mare who relished the drop in class first-up when a fast finishing winner over 1000m at Muswellbrook. Two of her three wins have come over this distance and she looks up to this stiffer contest. FLOSS'S ONE (7) lightly raced mare with plenty of upside. Outclassed when resuming in Highway grade first-up before returning to form with a smart 1.5 len win over 1000m at Taree. Drops further in weight and deserves her chance in this stronger race.
