STELLAR LADY (4) is a handy type who resumes after a break of four-and-a-half months. Only appeared once last prep when she finished fifth over 5f at Dalby, beaten 3 lengths. Looks forward enough following a recent trial win. Has scored when resuming from a lay-off before. Tackling tougher opposition but is among the leading chances. MY NAME IS (1) could only manage ninth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 4f at this track, beaten 0.9 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MISSION RIDGE (2) returns from a layoff of five months. Scored over 4f at this track to launch the last campaign. Looks a strong top-three prospect. MACHINE HEAD (3) finished fifth last start over 5½f at Toowoomba after racing on the pace for much of the way. Solid top-three prospects.
