LORD SHIVA (2) is back after a break of five-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1000m at Belmont Park. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Mitchell Pateman. Capable of playing a major role. ANABALLISTIC (4) did a great job to score by a long neck over today's course and distance when first-up from a break last start. Looks well placed so expect another big run. COSTAZITA (1) is a progressive five-year-old gelding who hasn't raced since finishing second over 1200m at this track on January 6 2024. Fitter for recent trials. Has a very strong record first-up including two wins. Capable of playing a big role. PRECAST (5) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on 6/12/2024, finishing tenth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1200m at Mornington. Now under the care of new trainer MacK Hall. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
