KARASMATIC (4) is a maiden galloper resuming today after a spell of five months. Closed last campaign with a seventh over 1400m at Sale, beaten 6 lengths. Trialling well leading into this. Set to run well. THE NEPHILIM (7) is yet to break through after four career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at Wagga two starts back before finishing sixth over 1300m at Wangaratta last start. Likely to play a major role. COUNTRY BLUES (2) finished third last time over 1125m at Geelong when resuming from a spell, beaten 3.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. WATOTO (9) went forward last time but couldn't quicken in the run home and finished fifth over 1300m at Wangaratta. No surprise if he figured in the finish.
