AD ASTRA (7) resumes from a lay-off of nine months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 5½f at Murray Bridge. Looks the one to beat. MISS CLAMOROSA (8) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 6f at Kilmore when second, beaten 0.8 lengths. Promising type with improvement to come so she should pay to follow. ROCKIN' AT MIDNITE (9) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 6f. Likely to play a major role. BELNERA (2) is going well with two minor placings from three starts this prep. Continued the trend at the most recent appearance when third over 6f at Caulfield Heath. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
