KAKIA (3) ran below expectations last time at Launceston, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths starting at 3/1. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he will be hard to beat. POP A HONDA (10) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 7f at Launceston, beaten 3.5 lengths into seventh. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is set to turn things around. WITHIN SIGHT (4) finished 4 lengths away in sixth last time out over 6f at Launceston four weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Will find this much easier. Well placed and is one of the contenders. ARAYA SUNSHINE (8) settled well back before making steady ground in the straight last start to finish sixth, beaten 3 lengths, over this journey at Hobart. Can feature in the finish.
