BELLWETHER (4) resumes from a lay-off of ten weeks after closing off last campaign with three consecutive minor placings. Should be poised just off the lead. Best figures should see her run well. REFUGIADA (7) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 1m1/2f at this track (Synthetic). Sure to prove tough to stop. DIALITHIC (5) finished fourth over 1m1/4f at this track (Synthetic) at her most recent appearance on November 3. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. CANNY LAND (1) returned from a lay-off three weeks ago when she was beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth over 1m1/2f at this track. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
