CELTIC ROSE (7) comes here off a break of three months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 5½f at Launceston. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. MEL'S STREET ABOVE (10) has been freshened since a safely held seventh at this track over 5f four weeks ago. Holding the fitness judging by a recent trial win at Longford. Serious threat. DINA TYCOON (5) showed good early speed from the inside draw last time and led into the straight before faded out of it, finishing fourth over 6f at Hobart. Well-placed and expected to feature. PARTY DAY (6) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by 0. 8 lengths over 5¾f. David Pires stays on. Must be respected.
