MINTMAN (3) is a five-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at his latest appearance over 6f136yards at Geelong. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. SHE FLYS (10) returns after four-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 1m at Echuca. Set for a bold return. ILLUMINANCE (9) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 4 lengths away in second over 6½f at this track when she was in the firing line all the way. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CLEOPATRA LINK (8) is back after a break of three months. At the last run before the layoff she finished tenth over 1m at Pakenham. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.
