EL SALTO (2) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when sixth, beaten 3 lengths, over 6f at Ascot. Cherry-ripe now and looks set to find best form. AVOIDANCE (6) last appeared when he finished 12th over 6f at Belmont Park on June 5. Has found the right race. SACRED OATH (5) returns from a lay-off of three months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when 13th over 6½f at Broome. Backmarker who keeps coming. One of the contenders. BLUE LINE (8) wound up strongly last time out to finish one length adrift in second over 5½f at Narrogin when resuming after a lay-off. Has a good record here at this journey with three wins and seven minor placings from 15 starts. Deserves respect on best figures.
