STRATIFIED (4) returned from a lay-off two weeks ago when he was in contention on the turn before being beaten 6 lengths into eighth over 6f at Newcastle. Likely improver with strong prospects. FROSTY JO (6) resumes from a lay-off of eight months. Could only manage to finish seventh at the latest run over 6½f at Hawkesbury. Tuned up with a sixth in a recent trial at Warwick Farm. Ready to find winning form. NAY PEE CEE (2) pushed forward last time and battled on gamely to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 6¼f at Kempsey when when resuming from a lay-off. Steps up a level but he is capable of running a bold race. SAPPHIRE KISS (9) raced on the speed last time but couldn't finish the race off and clocked-in fifth over 6¾f at this track. No surprise if she figured in the finish.
