ALABAMA CHARM (5) lifted strongly but just failed to pick up the winner when fresh from a lay-off last start over 6½f at Coonamble. Sure to derive great benefit from that run. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she cannot be underestimated. MORTAL HALO (1) returns after four-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a tenth over 1m in the G1 JJ Atkins at Eagle Farm. Looks ready to run following a minor placing in a recent Rosehill trial. Hard to beat if back in good order as anticipated. MY STAR (3) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 7f at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Nicely placed to find winning form. SALOON PASSAGE (8) wasn't far away on debut last start over 6½f at this track, finishing second and beaten 2. 75 lengths. Likely improver worth including.
