PERFECTLY GOOD (7) is returning from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months. Finished fourth at Flemington over 6f at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Brett Mallyon. Will be forward for this after a recent trial win at Wagga Riverside. Plenty to like about his prospects. BEFORE THE WAR (10) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten a neck into second over 4f190yards at Swan Hill. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. DARCEANDERMILL (2) returned from a lay-off a month ago when he was beaten 2 lengths into fourth over 5f at Cranbourne. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. STAR OF IDA (9) is back from a lay-off of 11 weeks. Closed last prep with a seventh, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 5f185yards at Wangaratta. One of the main contenders.
