DOC O'CONNOR (2) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on December 30 finishing fourth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 5½f at Darwin. Jarrod Todd who has four wins when partnering stays on. Among the leading chances. RED WRAITH (5) has been in the money at both runs this time in, the latest when second over 5½f at this track. Does go very well at the third run in. Solid prospects. EXPERT WITNESS (1) returned from a lay-off two weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into fifth over 5½f at this track. Has a fair record when second up, including three top-three finishes. The engagement of Jade Hampson is noteworthy. Finds a tougher race but a better run will not surprise. CITY REGAL (3) was strongly fancied when resuming last start but was beaten 13 lengths into sixth over 5½f at this track. Second up record is sound. Likely improver.
