SCARLETTI (5) finished second, beaten half a length, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 7¼f at this track after he was in contention on the corner. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. AL MAXIMUS (1) is a four-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 2.75 lengths when fourth over 7¼f at this track. Backmarker who gets home hard. Will be tough to hold out. SHARK ISLAND (17) is back from a break of three months. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when seventh over 6f at Launceston. Looks a strong top-three prospect. ALL ABOUT LUNA (9) is a three-start maiden who almost broke the ice last time out when a close second over 7¼f at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects.
