FLUENT (11) returns from a layoff of five-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 5f at Sandown-Hillside. Looks a winning chance. SEA POEM (8) was safely held when fifth last time out over 6½f at Sandown-Hillside, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a win at Sale at the previous outing. Likely improver with strong prospects. STEEL MOVE (10) hasn't been far away lately, last time finishing fourth over 7¼f at Geelong, and gets some weight relief. The addition of blinkers should see a bold run. MARILYN'S EDGE (12) was in contention on the bend and finished second last start over 5f at Mildura, beaten 0. 8 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is right in contention.
