BEAST MODE (7) has been knocking on the door with a couple of recent placings, the latest when second at Caulfield Heath, and gets some weight relief. Distance specialist with seven wins and 11 minor placings from 23 runs and shapes as a key contender. INSURRECTION (1) returns from a ten months break but will strip fitter for two trial placings. Generally runs well fresh. Rates highly and bold showing expected. OAK HILL (4) lines up for the first time since September 20. Looking to emulate his win at Moonee Valley to kick off the last campaign. Boasts a fine when resuming record of three wins from four starts. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. GEEGEES MISTRUTH (6) was racing very well before a lay-off with two minor placings in a row. Back from a break of 12 weeks and brings with her an impressive record at this stage of the prep. Ben Melham goes well on this four-year-old and is back on top. Best figures stack up.
