ALGORITHMIC (5) resumes from a four-and-a-half months lay-off and looked close to a win before the break, starting favourite and finishing second at this track. Ran fourth in a recent trial at Flemington. Well placed to make a bright return. MISSION OF JOY (16) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten 1. 5 lengths, over 5f at Mornington on debut. Solid prospects. ALIANO (1) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten 0. 8 lengths, over 5f at Pakenham when resuming after a lay-off. Among the main chances. KANDINSKY (9) is a three-year-old gelding on debut. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Time Test from Goldilicious. Coming along well at the trials with a win at his most recent at Cranbourne. Comes out of the the strong juvenile stable of Mick Price & Michael Kent Jnr. Should be thereabouts despite an awkward stall.
