BRIGHT BLONDE (3) ran below expectations when fresh from a lay-off at Doomben over 6f last time, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is set to turn things around. WATCHGUARD (11) is back from a lay-off of ten weeks. Turned in a fair effort at Casino over 5f at his only run last prep, finishing fourth and beaten 1.4 lengths. Should be poised just off the lead. Sure to be in the finish. IMPENDOR (1) returns after a six months lay-off and looks ready following a Ballina trial win. Looks set for a bold showing. LASER BEAM (7) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 6f at Murwillumbah. Will put himself in the race again and is sure to take some catching.
