NEWS AT FIVE (1) finished 0.7 lengths away in fourth last time out over 4½f at this track after being in contention on the bend when resuming from a lay-off. Steps up in journey. The testing material. AQUALINA'S STAR (7) debuted a week-and-a-half ago when she finished seventh over 5f at Wagga, beaten 1.75 lengths. Much better for that run and can get off the mark this time. MAJESTIC AFFAIR (6) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound second over 5f at Wagga. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. BRIDGET ROSE (5) returned from a lay-off two-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 4.5 lengths into seventh over 4½f at this track. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
