KOMACHI (8) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when 11th, beaten 21 lengths, over 1m at this track. Kayla Crowther gets the best out of this eight-year-old gelding. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. STORMAGEDDON (2) is a distance specialist who missed the placings two starts back when resuming then ran a better race when he did his best work late and finished 0. 7 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1m at this track. Meets a stronger field but he is capable of running a bold race. CASINO SEVENTEEN (1) found the line nicely last start to get up for third over 1m at this track when returning from a break. Generally performs well here and has registered three minor placings. One of the contenders. HADOUKEN (3) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at this track over 1m. Has started three times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Finds a tougher race but a better run is on the cards.
