PRINCESS PRUSSIA (6) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5f at Wangaratta, beaten 3. 5 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. INITIATE (3) is returning from a lay-off of six-and-a-half months. Finished fifth at Newcastle over 4½f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Todd Smart. Fitter for a seventh in a recent trial over 4½f at Canberra. Solid chance when resuming for the new barn. LETHAL LION (2) ran a bold race over this journey when resuming last start, racing on the pace and sticking on strongly to finish 0. 8 lengths away in second at Tumut. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. BABY DAISY (12) is a 19-start maiden who returned last time and finished seventh at Nowra over 5½f, beaten 4 lengths. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.
