ATTACHMENTS (3) was thereabouts last time out when second at Sandown-Hillside over 6½f, beaten a long neck. That run should have her rock-hard fit now. Meets easier opposition this time. Sure to go well. MARKDEL (4) is back at the races for the first time since December 26. Scored over 6f at this track at the start of last prep. One of the genuine hopes in the race. STATICE (10) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 6 lengths away in ninth over 5f at Sandown-Lakeside on June 4 which was the only run of that prep. Winner of her most recent trial. Has won when fresh from a lay-off in the past. Should camp just off the leaders. Should be involved in the finish. DON'T RUSSIA (6) was prominent at the turn and finished second last start over 6f at Caulfield Heath, beaten 0. 8 lengths. Nicely placed to go one better.
