SKELMORLIE (7) turned in an eye-catching run last start over 1150m at this track, dropping out early before coming home with a powerful run to finish second. Will be charging home. ALISENT (4) is a four-start maiden who filled a minor placing at Geelong at the last run before spelling. Ran fourth in a recent trial at Devonport Synthetic. Hard to beat if back in good order as anticipated. GEEGEE AUNTY JESS (5) was well in the market last time and made it two minor placings from as many runs this prep when 2.5 lengths away in third over 1150m at this track. Fitter and among the main hopes. THE MOUNTAINEER (3) was below his best last time, finishing sixth and beaten 4.5 lengths over 1400m at Hobart. Open to improvement and should be about the money.
