ILOVETHISTOWN (2) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound second over 6f at Hobart after being prominent at the corner. Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. ROYAL SCENE (6) is a 11-start maiden who finished eighth at her most recent appearance over 6f at Hobart. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. ALPINE WHISKEY (1) was prominent to the corner on debut last start but weakened to finish fifth over 5½f at this track. Can improve and should run well. TRIBAL COUNCIL (4) returns after five months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a 12th over 5½f at Hobart. Has ability and must be included in calculations.
