YUKAINA (2) returns after winning two on end before a ten weeks lay-off. Tuned up for this with a placing in a recent Caulfield Heath trial. Winning rider from last prep aboard again - expected to go well. ODESSA (9) ran below expectations when fresh from a lay-off at Cranbourne over 5f last time, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she can find the winners' list. SOUTHERN CRESCENT (7) is racing well, scoring in a at Pakenham before finishing a head from the winner in second last time over 5½f at Caulfield Heath. Top strike rate at the journey with two wins and three placings from five starts and should be involved in the finish. MISS MAHJONG (5) returns from a layoff of seven months. Scored over 6f at Kyneton to launch the last campaign. Has recorded two wins when when resuming from a break. Definite top-three chance.
