FROM THE BLOCK (2) is a four-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Richard & Chantelle Jolly yard. Finished off last campaign with a ninth at Happy Valley eight months ago. Will strip fitter for a trial win and goes well fresh from a lay-off, filling a placing two times from three runs. Can make a winning return. OLD MATE BLUEY (7) is yet to break through in nine runs. Finished fourth at his last appearance over 5½f at this track on June 9. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. CANYON WIND (4) finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 6f at Balaklava, an improvement on his seventh on debut at Ballarat the run before. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. NOW EAST (6) is returning from a lay-off of six months. Finished sixth at Balaklava over 5¼f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Chris Martin. Fitter for a minor placing in a recent Balaklava trial.
