LIM'S IDA (7) is returning from a lay-off of six-and-a-half months. Finished tenth at Moonee Valley over 6f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Neil Dyer. Winning chance. ANSON BAY (8) pushed forward and went on to record a determined win last start by 4 lengths over 6½f at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. ZOURATA (2) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was half a length from the winner in third over 5½f at this track. Dakota-Lee Gillett who has scored on him four times retains the mount. Has claims on his best figures. SHIRSHOV (4) resumed three weeks ago over 5½f at this track and was only beaten 1. 75 lengths into fourth after being prominent at the turn. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
