BOSS (3) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when fifth over 5½f at Hawkesbury after he was in the firing line on the bend. Has further improvement to come and can find winning form this time. FLORIDA SKY (4) ran fourth at her latest appearance over 4½f at this track, clocking in 2.5 lengths from the winner. Has a win and three minor placings from eight starts at this track and distance. Well placed and should be tough to beat. PRINCESS VITTORIA (8) resumes after a break of six-and-a-half months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 5f at Kembla Grange. Placed in a recent trial. Sure to make her presence felt. ALTERCATION (10) turned in a modest performance when fourth last start over 5f at Muswellbrook, beaten 3 lengths after a good when resuming win at Tuncurry. Expect a better run this time.
