TAUNTING (1) returns from a lay-off of four months after back-to-back wins to close last campaign, the latest over 5½f at Ballarat. Will find this much tougher but he is likely to feature. PRESS DOWN (13) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 5¼f at Morphettville. Has found a suitable race. Group 3 placegetter PENTHOUSE (6) showed early speed from a good draw last time and battled on to finish fifth, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 6f in the LR Abell Stakes at Moonee Valley. Another bold showing is expected. Group 3 winner AITCH TWO OH (3) bounced straight into a handy position from the inside draw before finishing fifth last time out over 5½f in the LR Manihi Classic at Morphettville. Can feature in the finish.
