COWBOY SOCKS (6) sets the standard after resuming with a decisive win over 1300m at this track, scoring by two and a half lengths from Lucky Day on soft ground. The first attempt around 1600m is the one qualification, but she has won two of six overall, is two from four this season and comes through the strongest recent winning form. FLYING SMART (10) is the main danger, having justified favouritism with a narrow 1300m win after making up a lot of ground, and her six-start profile of two wins and three placings is hard to fault. CHOCOLATE (4) resumes after two plain runs to end last campaign, yet his 12-month record and previous track win keep him firmly in the mix if he returns in better order. NUNKKOT (7) brings solid place form, including a close second two back and a fourth last time at big odds, with her rider's record aboard adding to the each-way case.
