GATESYS GEM (1) was one of the leading fillies of last season, winning six of nine starts. Scored at Bendigo when last seen in November to follow her second in the Breeders Crown Final here. Two from two when fresh and has been readied with three nice trials. The ace draw gives her every chance to make a winning return. Last season's Vicbred Super Series winner COMMODUS (8) started a hot favourite when resuming at Cranbourne but broke and finished fourth. Draws for a trail and won his lone second-up attempt so can improve plenty. SASSY GALLEON (11) could be an improver second-up while last-start maiden winner HODY MOKE (2) has been kept up to the mark with a trial win and draws well so include.
