CODE IN TIME (3) returns after four-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 6¼f at Canterbury. Tuned up with a fourth in a recent trial at Rosehill. Hard to beat if back in good order as anticipated. QUEEN CALANTHE (7) is a promising type who was in the placings on debut before a fourth last time over 5f at Muswellbrook. Should camp just off the leaders. Best figures should see her run well. RUSSIAN ROSE (5) is a eight-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 6 lengths when fifth over 4½f at Newcastle. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come. DIVINE KARMA (6) is facing the starter for the first time. By Divine Prophet and comes from the Bruce Cross stable. Trialling in good style and looks forward enough. Watch the market closely.
