IT TAKES TWO (2) has been racing very well of late and went close again last time over 1609m at this track, finishing third and 2.25 metres from the winner. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Has the class to take care of this field. COALITION HANOVER (3) finished fourth last start over 1609m at this track but gave a good account, beaten only 1.75 metres. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a comparable field and he can make amends. FILLY WATCHER (4) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at this track over 1609m. COME ON ARTIE (8) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 1609m at this track a week ago.
