AD ASTRA (8) returned last time with a solid second at Morphettville Parks over 1000m. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. MISS SLIPSTREAM (11) finished fourth on debut then improved last start but found a couple better over 1100m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. EMBELLISHER (4) is back from a spell of five months. Debuted with a third, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1200m at Balaklava at his only appearance to date. One of the key chances. MOUGENOT (5) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1050m at Balaklava, beaten 4 lengths. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field.
