OHOKA COBRA (3) turned in a much better run last time out, finishing second over 1980m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Meets a similar line up so he can salute this time around. KOTARE ARGENT (6) ran second last start at this track over 1980m, beaten 5 metres. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. SMOKING ASHES (9) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1980m at this track two weeks ago. HERE COMES MARTY (5) last appeared when fourth over 1980m at this track four months ago. Finished third here two runs back on debut and fresh-up must be respected.
