WARM BREEZE (4) is a maiden galloper resuming from a lay-off after finishing fifth over 6f at Balaklava at the latest appearance on November 20. Looks to be in good order following a trial win. Ready to open his account. VELVET GEM (12) finished third, beaten 2 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Strathalbyn after she was in the firing line on the turn. Nicely placed to take this out. PIRATE (2) led into the straight last start over 6¾f at Strathalbyn on soft going but could not sustain the pressure and finished 14th. Drawn out a bit but is one of the contenders. QUEEN CALANTHE (9) could only manage to finish sixth, beaten 3.5 lengths, at her latest appearance over 6f at Bordertown. Solid top-three chance on her best figures.
