CLEO CAT (2) returns from a break of four months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a sixth over 1200m at Geelong. Has a strong fresh record including two wins. Looks sure to be in the finish. RIVKIN (4) returns from a layoff of four-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1000m at Bendigo. Expect him to play a major role. MANSIERE (6) is having his first run since October 16. Goes well when fresh with a win and two placings from four starts. Ran sixth in a trial at Werribee over 800m recently. Should be prominent. DREAMZEL (5) held on well to finish second last time out over 1000m at Cranbourne after leading for much of the way. Worth including.
