SILVER DAGGER (2) is a distance specialist who ran a better race last start when she worked home well to finish a close second over 5½f at this track. Must raise the bar but she has the ability to test this field. SKY LAND (5) returns from a break of nine weeks. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a 13th over 6f at this track. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. PERSPIRATION (1) returned from a lay-off five-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 3. 5 lengths into fifth over 5½f at Hobart. Has never missed the frame second up. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. GO JEANIE (3) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 5½f at Hobart. Can make her presence felt.
