TUVALU (1) drifted back early when resuming last start and could only manage a 3 length fifth over 7f in the G1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes at this track. Has a solid second up record. Likely improver. COCO JAMBOO (11) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when ninth over 7f in the G2 The Invitation at Randwick after she travelled towards the rear of the field. Has further improvement to come and is expected to run well. TAMERLANE (4) finished fourth when resuming from a lay-off last start over 7f at Flemington. Must be respected. ARKANSAW KID (2) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage 11th over 6f at Cranbourne. Top-three prospects.
