LADY VERITY (11) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at her latest appearance over 5½f at Sale. Has trialled well leading into this. Well placed and happy to have her on top. MISSION OF JOY (12) settled well back on debut start then warmed up late to finish second over 5f at Mornington. Jumps from a wide draw but she should pay to follow. DIHHERI (10) is a three-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Lloyd Kennewell. By Royal Meeting from Dihhi. Looks forward enough after a Cranbourne trial win. Respect any positive move in betting. RED BARRON (6) returns after 13 months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a seventh over 5f in stakes class at Flemington. Ran fourth in a recent trial at Flemington. Can kick off with a bold showing.
