Lay-off. Big chance to keep the fine form going. WHISTLEFIELD (13) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a 11th over 5f at Sandown-Hillside. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. TRAPEZE WARRIOR (14) sat close to the pace last time out but faded to finish ninth, beaten 3.5 lengths over this journey at Cranbourne. Better than the last run and is among the chances. PHILOSOPHER (1) faded right out of it last time over 6f at Cranbourne after showing good early speed and leading for much of the way, eventually finishing 13th. Can feature in the finish.
