RUSSIAN ZARINA (5) stepped up in trip to 6f last time at Goulburn and ran below her best, finishing 3 lengths away in sixth. Appeals back in trip this time so she is right in this. FULL REVOLUTION (3) finished off last campaign with a fourth over 4½f at Muswellbrook on October 21 and has since switched yards. Goes well when resuming from a lay-off, including four minor placings from four starts. Leading prospect. DITTERICH (7) broke through for his maiden win over 4½f at Albury last time. Winning rider James Innes Jnr stays aboard and he is one of the main chances. HEAVENLY AZ (9) finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 5f at Nowra when she made late ground, beaten 2.5 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run.
