MIHOKO TAKEO (9) took advantage of the good draw last start and was in the firing line for much of the way before being swamped in the run home, finishing ninth and beaten 6 lengths over 1m1 1/2f at Devonport Synthetic. Better than the last run and will take running down. COPPLESON (1) missed the placings two runs back then settled well back last start when 5 lengths away in eighth over 1m4 1/4f at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. GODDESS OF ROCK (8) turned in a modest performance when ninth last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a win at Devonport Synthetic at the previous outing. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. ALWAYS A WINNER (4) improved sharply last time out to score by a head over 1m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
