BIRD ON A WIRE (8) is back after a break of five-and-a-half months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at her latest appearance over 7f29yards at Bunbury. Placed in a recent trial. Rates on top and is a great chance to break through. SANCTIONS (9) clung on to finish third last start over 5f at Pinjarra, beaten 0.7 lengths when fresh from a lay-off. Likely improver with strong prospects. OCEAN GODDESS (10) is appearing for the first time. By Playing God and hails from the Jessica Carbery stable. Looks forward enough after a Belmont Park trial win. Expected to feature. NEW HYMN SHEET (12) is a three-year-old filly on debut. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Playing God from Verse. At her most recent trial was unplaced at Lark Hill. Sure to be well-educated, being from the G & A Williams stable. Looks set to make a positive start to her career despite a tricky draw.
