METAPHORICALLY (3) was well in commission when resuming last start over 6¼f at Canterbury but could only manage fifth, although only 1.5 lengths from the winner. Will find this easier. Among the leading chances in this company. BETTER BREAKOUT (18) is a two-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 3.5 lengths when fourth over 6f at Wyong. Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through. ARRIVING HOME (6) is a I Am Invincible filly who was an AUD $ 550,000 (Magic Millions 2023 Gold Coast Yearling Sale) purchase. Fitter for two trials. Looks set to run well. MAGICAL MOMENTS (12) resumes from a lay-off of six-and-a-half months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 5½f at Scone. Placed in a recent trial. Has ability and must be included in calculations.
