FIRST MISSION (6) underrated gelding who gets the right set up for this on his favoured conditions. Fourth up now and drops 5kg in weight after sitting on the speed for a tough second over 1250m at Canterbury. Races best with his runs spaced and will prove hard to run down. CODETTA (1) two runs back have been sound and looking for the 1300m now. Kept finding down the outside when a plugging third over 1100m at this track. Tempo suits and McMurray's claim keeps her in the contest. DIDDLE DUMPLING (4) has always possessed above average ability and this could be the prep where she goes on with it. Will go back from the draw and finish off strongly. SAKIMA (5) disappointed at her first run back and gets the claim from the sticky draw. Placed at Listed level and stays in the mix.
