CALL SHADD (3) is resuming from a spell of nine months and having his first run for the A J Granitz yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Turfway Park (Synthetic) over 1207m. Expecting a seamless transition. AEONIAN (4) returned last time with a solid second at this track (Dirt) over 1308m. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. NEOSTAR (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1207m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Strips fitter and can bounce back. XIAO LONG (6) raced below his best last time when eighth over 1710m at this track (Turf), beaten 8 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
