BEL LUPA (5) is a maiden galloper who hasn't raced since finishing 9 lengths back in fifth over 6f at Seymour five months ago. Fitter for a recent trial win. Sure to go well. MISS ELLANEOUS (10) returns after three months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 6f at Kyneton. Tuned up with a seventh in a recent trial at Ballarat. Set for a bold return. CABARET QUEEN (6) is a maiden galloper who resumes after finishing in the money over 5f at Mornington six months ago. Fitter for two trials, placing most recently. Should be competitive. BEAU STRADA (4) closed last campaign with three consecutive minor placings and is back. After a break of 12 weeks. Bailey Kinninmont has been in the money at the last three rides. Must be respected.
