KOKO (4) showed good early speed last start over this journey at Cranbourne before finishing second, beaten 1. 3 lengths. Tackling a more suitable race this time so she is sure to be prominent. SHEER PANIC (3) strode forward early from his wide draw over 5½f at Pakenham Synthetic when fresh from a lay-off last time, leading for much of the way before being claimed in the straight to finish third, beaten 2. 5 lengths. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish again. PIPOLI DIVA (6) turned in a moderate midfield finish when resuming from a lay-off two-and-a-half weeks ago over 6f at Sapphire Coast. Likely to improve with that run under the belt so she is one of the leading contenders. SNITCHY (9) led early and was still in the firing line on the turn before tiring to finish sixth over 6f at Bairnsdale last time out. Appeals as a top-four contender.
