HONOR GALORE (5) is having her first run since November 9. Has a very good fresh record, scoring two times including one over 5f at Sandown-Hillside at the start of last prep. Can return in winning form. CATAHOULA (4) is back at the races for the first time since April 6. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 5f at Sandown-Hillside. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. WALK OF FAME (3) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last start over 6½f at Sandown-Hillside, beaten 2.25 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. WRITTEN BLIGH (9) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last time over 6f at Pakenham Synthetic, beaten 2.75 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Capable of another top-three outcome.
