BOLD STRIKE (1) resumes from a lay-off of five months and is having his first outing under new trainer Ciaron Maher. Finished fourth at Kyneton over 6f at the opening run last time in work. Placed in a recent trial. Looks set to run well for the new mentor. CHAMPAGNE EXPRESS (6) was well supported on debut last start and turned in a strong effort to finish third over 6f at Sandown-Lakeside. Will be very hard to beat with that run under the belt. OCEANELLA (11) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last start over 7f at Pakenham, beaten 2.25 lengths. Has the ability to find winning ways. VAAFEE (18) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fifth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 6f at Mornington. Solid top-three prospects.
