OUR MALYSHKA (9) is back at the races for the first time since September 25. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 5f at Sale. Capable of playing a major role. TRIUMPHANTLY (1) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten half a length into third over 6f at Pakenham after being prominent from the outset. Faces an easier assignment so he is a major player. FAITHINHER (6) was prominent at the bend and finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 5f at Ballarat, beaten 3 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KAYGEEBEE (4) put the writing on the wall last time when a close second at Bairnsdale over 5f. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Not to be discounted.

The start before that raced on the speed throughout before fading to run last of 9 at Caulfield Heath Class 1 on February 10 over 6f, 8 lengths behind Barbaric Lad carrying 8st8lb at 50/1.
