HIGHLAND KITTY (12) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1100m at this track, finishing fourth and beaten one length. Likely improver who should go well. HE IS THE KISS (2) was in the money two starts back at Kilcoy but was unable to repeat the effort last time when ninth, beaten 9 lengths, at Gold Coast Poly over 1540m after being in the firing line on the corner. Ideally placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. ROTHWEILER (5) returns after nine weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 870m at this track. One of the leading chances. SIR GOLDALOT (6) is returning from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Finished fourth at Werribee over 1429m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Mark Currie. Placed in a recent trial.
