BALMORAL (6) wasn't far away in two runs during his maiden prep, the latest a second over 5f at Hawkesbury three-and-a-half months ago. Breaks from a wide gate but looks ready for a bright return. WITCH OF NOVEMBER (14) is a first starter by Starspangledbanner out of November Gale. Among the leading chances. DITTERICH (1) resumes from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 4½f at this track. Good effort to open last prep when in the money at this track over 4½f. Strong winning chance on best figures. MAJESTIC MAREMMA (8) finished 6 lengths from the winner in eighth at her most recent appearance over 5½f at Wodonga. Should be about the money.
