TALK OF DAKOTA (9) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when seventh over 5f at Cranbourne. Will strip fitter and is worth following up. OUR MALYSHKA (7) impressed when successful on debut over 5½f at this track 12 weeks ago and has not appeared since. Promising type who can go back-to-back. CLOCK STRIKES (3) met with solid support last start over 5f at Ballarat when second, beaten 2.25 lengths. Change of rider to Ms Carleen Hefel who has an excellent strike rate when in the saddle, including two wins. Expected to measure up. NEW YORK SCANDAL (8) returns after a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 6f at this track. Has switched to the N J Harnett yard. Among the better hopes.
