DARK CHILL (12) resumes from a lay-off of six-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign with four consecutive minor placings. Blinkers come off. Big chance of a successful return. THREE GONGS (10) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 3.5 lengths away in sixth over 7f at Eagle Farm on March 2. Fitter for a recent trial at Doomben. Has never been out of the placings when resuming from two tries. Won't find this assignment as tough. Best form puts him right in this. SIBELIUS (16) is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Tougher task this time but expected to be competitive again. TURBULENT (14) is fresh from a lay-off of 11 weeks and did hit the frame when last resuming at Kembla Grange over 5f. In a different yard now. Will be forward for this after a recent trial win at Deagon.
