SHALMUM (10) expected to go close today at start 15 from the inside barrier. Snagged back from the wide draw last time out when fifth over 1460m at Queanbeyan on November 29. Placed here and hard fit now. Each way player. HOLY HELL (12) Hellbent filly on debut for the Danielle Seib yard. Had the three trials in readiness for this and leading rider engaged. MAKTABI (5) can hold a forward position here and his best figures are good enough to take a hand in the finish.
