LIGHTNING EXPRESS (2) returns from a layoff of six-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 7f at Kranji Turf. One of the genuine hopes in the race. LA PLEINE LUNE (5) is a speedy gelding who returned from a break with a win over 6f155yards at Geelong. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Sure to be in the finish. MISS WINSLET (8) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten a nose, over 7f155yards at Geelong. Among the better chances. ROCK THE BAR (4) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 7f at Morphettville Parks, finishing 2 lengths from the winner as favourite. Should run very well.
