LIVE MUSTARD (1) is back at the races for the first time since February 4 and ended the last prep with a string of wins and placings. Scored at this course and distance to launch the last campaign. Has a strong first-up record, scoring on four occasions from six starts. Capable of playing a major role. RYOTA SPECIAL (5) hasn't been far away since winning here for back. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best form puts him right in this. KEN KIITOS (8) is a handy six-year-old entire who returned from a break last start and finished 0.8 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track. Fitter and is among the leading chances. PEPTIDE HUDSON (2) returned from a spell eight weeks ago when he was fourth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
