TACITO (8) resuming from a five months break after finishing seventh at Murray Bridge and resumes here a gelding. Generally runs well when resuming. Expected to go close. CODIGO (1) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Moe, beaten 3.5 lengths into eighth after being in contention on the corner. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. HYPEMAN (4) bounced straight into a handy position from the inside draw before finishing ninth when resuming from a lay-off last time out over 6½f at Bendigo. Among the chances. HELLO MARY (12) is back from a lay-off of five-and-a-half months. Closed last prep with a eighth, beaten 6 lengths, over 7f at Sandown-Hillside. One of the leading contenders.
