HOP SING (5) returns after a spell of six-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1609m at this track. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. SKELLIG MICHAEL (7) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second when resuming last time out over 1609m at this track (Dirt). In a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. NOTHINGSUBTLE (1) comes here off a last-start fifth, beaten 16 lengths, over 1308m at this track. Strong top-three chance. ROAR READY (4) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1408m at this track. Nicely placed to maintain the form.
