Expecting Let's Live On to take up the running with Katsuno Dia and Ebenholz close at hand. LET'S LIVE ON (4) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1400m at this track. Expected to bring the good form from last campaign to this contest. SHELTERBELT (2) closed last campaign with four consecutive minor placings and is back today after a break of 11 weeks. Sure to be right there at the business end. EBENHOLZ (7) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on December 28, finishing fourth and beaten 5 lengths over 1500m at this track. Worth plenty of thought. NAC EXPRESS (3) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her last appearance at this track over 1500m on December 28. Among the better hopes.
