Group 2 placegetter MATISSE (12) is back after a break of four months. At the last run before the layoff she finished seventh over 6f in the G1 Blue Diamond Stakes at Caulfield. Has ability and can get off the mark. WARRIOR HEAD (7) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 6f at Ipswich when second, beaten a nose. Will benefit from that experience so a big run is anticipated. HELL MARCH (2) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 0.8 lengths into second over 6f at this track. Has a high cruising speed. Should be involved in the finish. CIPHERTEXT (9) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Helen Page. By Encryption from Tarffeite. Watch the market closely.
