ARALETTA (13) is back from a four-and-a-half months spell and she does run well first-up, including a win over 1200m at Cranbourne at the start of last prep. Fitter for a minor placing in a recent Doomben trial. Will be tough to beat. ELLIBABY (11) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 3 lengths away in fifth over 1350m at this track on October 26. Fitter for two subsequent trials, including a win. Has an impressive first-up record including two victories. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Sure to be in the finish. KEEP SAFE (6) is back at the races for the first time since March 19. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at Sunshine Coast. Has to be respected. LA PETITE MAISON (15) returned from a break last start with an all-the-way win over 1100m at Ipswich, getting home by one length. Good record at this journey with two wins and two minor placings from five starts and is among the main hopes.
