DEBATING (4) resumes from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1m at Alice Springs. Set to return in style. SHE'LL BE RIGHT (7) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 20 lengths when seventh in a 1m contest at this track a week ago. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. VALKUR (12) has recorded five minor placings from seven starts this campaign, the latest when second as a well-fancied conveyance over 6½f at this track. Jumps from a wide gate but she looks a genuine threat. ARIARNE (9) resumes from a lay-off of five months. Could only manage to finish 11th at the latest run over 1m at Benalla. Solid top-three hope.
