EL FORTRESS (1) is back after a break of four months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at his latest appearance over 6f at Rockhampton. Placed in a recent trial. Looks the one to beat. SHOOTINGOFFTHEHAND (3) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound second over 5½f at this track. Placed to advantage and can take this out. BETTER BREAKOUT (2) finished third over 5½f at Scone at his most recent appearance on June 23. Lines up. For the first time for trainer Joanna Hassett. Has found the right race and is worth including. JOHN'S ROAD (8) was beaten 1. 5 lengths into second at this track two starts ago then finished 2. 25 lengths from the winner in fourth last time at this track. Will drift back but wind up late. Chance on best figures and worth including.
