JIPSIE (6) resumes from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish ninth at the latest run over 6f at Darwin. Can make a winning return. DR VENKMAN (1) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 2.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 6f at this track after being in contention on the turn. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. ONEOFTHESENIGHTS (7) ran below expectations last time after being in contention on the turn at this track, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths starting at 13/2. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. PROLIFIC MELODY (8) was close to a maiden win before a five-and-a-half months break, finishing off with a placing over 5½f at Ipswich. Drawn to enjoy a nice run. Has ability so don't underestimate.
