HALEN (16) is back after a break of six-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 5½f at this track. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. ARTILLERY FIRE (4) is a consistent maiden back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Finished last campaign with a second at Hobart and looks set for a strong return based on recent trial form. Should park just off the speed and a bold showing is expected. TIZSA NICE DROP (9) is a five-start maiden who could only manage to finish seventh at her latest appearance over 5f at Devonport Synthetic after she gave away a big start. Expected to feature in the finish this time. ALPINE DAME (3) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f at Devonport Synthetic, beaten 3.5 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
