SPACE RIDER (1) is having his first run since October 11. Has a strong record when fresh with two wins from two runs, the most recent over 6f at Moonee Valley at the start of last prep. Ran fifth in a trial at Cranbourne over 4f recently. Can return in winning form. ROMANTIC ENCOUNTER (3) resumes after a break of three-and-a-half months. Did win at his only other when resuming run when on debut, scoring over 6½f at Bendigo. Will strip fitter following a recent trial win. Key runner. CUSTOM (9) returns after a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate her win at Randwick Kensington when returning from a lay-off last prep. Looks a strong top-three prospect. SALTY PEARL (6) is a promising type who scored at her last run before a break three months ago over 1m in the G2 Moonee Valley Fillies Classic. Fitter for two trials, filling a minor placing at her most recent appearance. Ben Allen who has two wins when partnering stays on. Don't underestimate.
