THANKYOU HENRY (12) went forward when resuming last start over 5½f at Doomben and held on well for second, beaten a head. Has the talent to take care of this field. GREAT ASPIRATIONS (6) returns from a break of six-and-a-half months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 6f at Eagle Farm. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. BONDED AFFAIR (9) did a great job to score by 0.8 lengths over this course and distance last start which was an improvement on the when resuming run. No reason he cannot salute again. CHAKRA BOY (4) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest offering a second, beaten a nose, over 5f at this track. Justin P Stanley has scored on him two times and is back in the saddle. Open to improvement.
