OFFLEY SPECIAL (7) is back at the races for the first time since September 18. Scored over 1006m at this track at the start of last prep. Now under the care of new trainer Mike Taphorn. Should be hard to stop. RUSSIAN PEARL (1) is fresh from a spell of eight months and did hit the frame when last resuming at this track over 1006m. In a different yard now. Leading hope and should be tough to stop. DAISYSADOOZY (3) resumes from a spell of eight months. Has filled a minor placing at both first-up runs. Opened last prep with a second over 1006m at this track. Worth including. MAIBELLA (5) returns after a spell of eight months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1006m at this track. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
