NORWOODS (2) is back at the races for the first time since August 11. Scored over 7f at Horsham to launch the last campaign. Has switched to the Rachael Cunningham stable. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. ESTE DIA (4) has been thereabouts of late including last time out when he closed nicely at the end of 6f at Bairnsdale to finish second Extra trip a plus among the main hopes. MOTO MOTO (5) finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 7f124yards at Yarra Valley, beaten a neck. Ready to go one better. HEADSMART (1) doesn't have the best strike rate but ran a nice race when resuming from a lay-off last time out over 6f at Yarra Valley, finishing fourth and beaten 1.1 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
