AIR BIG MOM (3) comes here off a break of nine weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1800m at this track. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. FORTE FIORE (14) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time when beaten a neck into second over 1800m at this track. Likely to be fighting out the finish. MEINER AURUM (12) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 2000m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. GRAND SAISON (13) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
