SOPHAST (2) resumes from a lay-off of six months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 4f190yards at Swan Hill. Well placed and happy to have him on top. KIRA (7) returns after eight months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1m at Sandown-Lakeside. Good chance to break through. REDEMPTION TIME (8) is yet to break through but has been in the money three times including last start when third over 4f190yards at Swan Hill. Has a solid record at this journey, finishing in the money on two occasions. Tackling tougher opposition but should be competitive. I AM VICTORIOUS (10) returns after nine months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a seventh over 6f at Pakenham. Has ability and is worth including.
