EVERIDO (1) returns from a lay-off of four months and tackles a synthetic surface for the first time. Opened last prep with third at Sapphire Coast over 6f. Reunites with Jack Martin who has two wins when on board. Best form puts him right in this. } shelly's ace (8) faded late last time over 5f at sapphire coast after showing good early speed, eventually finishing fourth. Will take catching. RUSSIAN SNITZEL (2) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at Canterbury over 5½f, beaten half a length. Should be at her peak now. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from four starts. Capable of going well. JUST WAI (11) was beaten 1.4 lengths into fourth in a 5f contest at Nowra at his latest appearance. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
