IZZ ROSA (1) resumes from a spell of 20 months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid second over 2170m at Cobram. Has the benefit of a good draw. Sure to prove hard to beat on her return. ONYX (7) finished fourth last start over 1650m at Bendigo, beaten 16 metres, after a modest seventh at Cranbourne the run prior. Will enjoy a pretty soft run from this draw, with the sprint lane to play a big role. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. HOWSWEETTHESOUND (6) is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance over 1690m at Kilmore. CRESCO BELLADONNA (2) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1690m at Maryborough last time out.
