SURREAL ASCOT (5) returns from a layoff of four months. Scored over 1050m at this track to launch the last campaign. Has found the right race. HIDDEN MELODY (7) returns from a layoff of four-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1000m at Gold Coast. Should be hard to stop. I AM VOODOO (2) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 2.5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1200m at Gold Coast Poly after being in the firing line on the bend. This doesn't look as hard so he is sure to be prominent. HUSS ON FIRST (4) finished third last time over 1200m at Dalby when resuming from a spell, beaten 4.5 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Suitably placed so anticipating another strong effort.
