PIERANT (17) is returning from a lay-off of six-and-a-half months. Finished fifth at this track over 6f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald. Fitter for a fifth in a recent trial over 5f32yards at Rosehill. Rates highly and can return in winning form. TAKE ACHANCE ON ME (13) is a two-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 3 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at Canterbury. Can come on from that run and looks a serious contender. MAJOR LOOK (16) is a eight-start maiden who returned last time and finished sixth at Sunshine Coast over 7f, beaten 5 lengths. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration. TRISKELE (19) was in contention on the corner and finished second last start over 6½f at Kembla Grange, beaten 1.75 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
