HADRIAN'S WALL (8) returns from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished sixth at Bendigo over 5f when when resuming last time in work. Best fresh figures put her right in this. EXTREME EMOTION (5) finished off last campaign with a ninth over 6½f at Seymour on November 17 and has since switched yards. Goes well when resuming from a lay-off, including two minor placings from three starts. Sure to be competitive. SIBERIAN LARCH (3) is a four-year-old import having his first run for the Chloe Baxter barn. Finished off last campaign with 14th over 7f at Sha Tin a year ago. Hasn't trialled publicly for the new connections but he is expected to be in the finish. TRUE COMPANY (9) is a three-year-old filly who is having her first run for the Gary Clarke yard. Resumes after finishing ninth at Taree at her last run three-and-a-half months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly but looks nicely placed. Not to be underestimated.
