CAPTAIN GEORGE (1) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 2.75 lengths at this track. Has three wins here at his home track. Jarrod Todd who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Well placed and should be in the finish. SIBERIAN LARCH (7) is back after a break of 12 weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished sixth over 5½f at this track. Set for a bold return. LITTLE DITTY (4) is a four-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Terry Gillett barn. Finished off last campaign with a fourth at Cobar nine weeks ago. Not seen at the trials but has filled a minor placing two times from three runs when resuming. Should feature in the finish. HELLIVIT (2) is ticking along okay with two runs this time in. Improved last time out when fifth, beaten 4.5 lengths, at this track over 5½f. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Deserves respect on best figures.
