CARDIOLOGIST (2) resumes from a lay-off of five months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 6f at Geelong. Good effort to kick-off last prep when in the money at Sandown-Lakeside over 6f. Ready for a bold run. DOLLAR SHOT (9) returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 7f at Pakenham. Hard to beat if back in good order as anticipated. BLACK EYED BLONDE (8) has not raced since being well supported on her debut on November 3 over 6f at Mornington when she finished fifth, beaten 5 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement. CONNI ISLAND (15) has not raced since his debut back on July 14 when he finished fifth over 6f at Wodonga. Keep very safe, bearing in mind the blinkers have been added.
