KOKATAHI (2) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when third at Randwick over 7f. Has upside and is among the leading chances. SONIC SCENE (1) was at long odds on debut last time out and finished sixth, beaten 3 lengths, over 5½f at this track. Sure to improve and can get off the mark this time. SIXTIES (9) stepped out on his debut over 5½f at Gosford five weeks ago and finished eighth, beaten 3 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement. MACCBI (8) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at his latest appearance over 6f87yards at Muswellbrook. Ran fourth in a recent trial at Randwick. Has ability and must be included in calculations.
