STARTON (3) is back from a lay-off of four months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 6f at Darwin. Expected to feature. LITTLE DITTY (1) got home by 0.6 lengths last time out over 5½f at this track. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Leading contender. AUGUSTA MOON (2) in strong form with two wins from six attempts this campaign. Won two starts back at this track and went close again last time out. Should camp just off the leaders. Will be in this for a long way. ONLY THE BEST (5) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 0.6 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. Suitably placed so anticipating another forward showing.
