OFF THE SCALE (7) is back from a lay-off of five months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1m3/4f at Muswellbrook. Looks a winning chance. MOUNT BONA (4) produced a reasonable effort when fourth last start over 7½f at Newcastle, beaten 1.2 lengths after she did her best work in the closing stages. That followed a win at Scone the start prior. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is good enough to take this out. BOMBELLEISTIC (5) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when 13th, beaten 10 lengths, over this journey at Orange. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. RAZELLA (6) doesn't win out of turn but rarely far from the money over this journey and meets a moderate line up. Going well this campaign, finishing in the money one times and could sneak into the finish at odds.
