SCARLENA (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4. 5 lengths when fourth in a 5f contest at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. BOWDENE (1) returned from a lay-off two weeks ago when he was prominent at the corner before being beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 5¼f at Rockhampton. Likely improver with strong prospects. ASTILLA (6) is a maiden galloper resuming from a lay-off after finishing sixth over 5f at Caulfield Heath at the latest appearance on November 19. Fitter for a recent trial win. Should be involved in the finish. AUCHTERARDER (4) has not raced since his debut on February 3 over 5f at this track when he finished fifth, beaten 4 lengths. Open to improvement and can feature.
