TOUCHDOWN (9) lines up for the first time since January 24. Looking to emulate his win at Sale when returning from a lay-off last prep. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. HE'LL RIP (1) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten 1. 5 lengths, over 7f at Caulfield. Among the leading chances. BOTANICAL BOY (20) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 2. 25 lengths away in fourth over 7f at Flemington on January 17. Trialling well leading into this. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a lay-off in two starts. Has to be included. FEAR NO EVIL (17) is having his first run since January 31. Goes very well when fresh with two wins from two starts, the latest over 6½f at Bendigo at the start of last prep. Ran fourth in a trial at Flemington over 5f recently. Sound prospects.
