GRINZINGER ACE (5) resumes from a lay-off of five months. Could only manage to finish seventh at the latest run over 6f22yards at Geelong. Looks the one to beat. MORNING DARLING (4) resumes from a lay-off of six-and-a-half months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 7f at Ballarat Synthetic. Good effort to launch last prep when in the money at Donald over 5f. Hard to beat if back in good order as anticipated. ALESHA LILY (7) finished second when resuming at Kerang then couldn't repeat the dose last time when fourth at Kyneton over 5½f when beaten 6 lengths. Should be parked just off the speed. Has ability and expected to feature. LAUNCH SEQUENCE (6) resuming from a nine weeks break after finishing seventh at Kyneton and resumes here a gelding. Can return with a bold run.
