DILUTION (1) is returning from a lay-off of 12 weeks. Finished ninth at Newcastle over 4½f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Daniel Mccarthy. Makes plenty of appeal in the new surrounds. BEFORE THE WAR (3) is yet to break through after three career starts. Could only manage to finish ninth last time out over 5f190yards at Albury following a minor placing at Echuca over 5f the run prior. Likely to play a major role. DOLLYTHEDIVA (8) finished 3.5 lengths away in third last time out at Canberra Acton. On a eight-day back-up. Strong run last time and is a leading contender. REVIEWS (5) finished 8 lengths away in sixth at his last appearance over 5¼f at Leeton on April 20. No surprise if he figured in the finish.
