LARKIN (1) was well in the market on debut last time out and ran well but found one better over 6f at Kyneton. Open to improvement and looks a serious contender. CHOCOLATE BOX (5) returns after five months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 7f at Sale. Should present well following a recent trial win. Nicely placed and expected to go well. MAUNA KEA MISS (8) showed good early speed then led into the straight when fresh from a lay-off last start before fighting on to finish third, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 6½f at Cranbourne. Among the main hopes. STRUM (3) went forward last time and looked a chance on the corner but faded to finish fifth over 5f at Cranbourne. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him.
