STARLACCA (8) returns from a lay-off of four months and tackles a synthetic surface for the first time. Opened last prep with fifth at Moonee Valley over 6f. Significant class drop this time. Best form puts her right in this. } sunburnt (14) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 7 lengths away in tenth over 5½f at warrnambool. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. SCREAM (2) last appeared on February 16 when a good seventh over 4f95yards at Moonee Valley, beaten 3 lengths. Has to be respected. COEUR DE LYON (4) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
