GROWL (1) raced close to the lead before clearing out to score an effortless 3 lengths win over 5½f at Mackay last time. Likely to be in the finish again. HELLISH (9) is returning from a lay-off of nine weeks. Finished sixth at Kyneton over 6f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Clinton Taylor. Will be fit enough for this following a recent trial win. Has ability and should be right in the finish. PRETTY SLICK (5) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 5¼f at this track. Has a win and five minor placings from seven starts at this track and distance. One of the main contenders. CALL ME MARILYN (8) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a lay-off on October 27 finishing sixth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 5½f at this track. Now under the care of new trainer Michael L Evans. Can make her presence felt.
