Verdict

KOKESHI (9) sets the standard after resuming with a strong second at Ballarat, beaten just under a length by Southern Sway, and she has already placed at this track. She looks well placed to go one better if she improves as expected from a good gate. IFTIHAR (8) is the clear danger, coming through a Mornington fourth in stronger metro company after a narrow Kyneton placing. Peak fitness and maps well on speed, go close. CALEXPO (13) resumes with two Flemington trials behind him and is entitled to improve sharply on a heavy-track Geelong debut where he was well found but beaten just under nine lengths. Watch for a push. HEAVY IS THE HEAD (6) is another genuine chance after closing strongly for second at Sale, with a slight check in running adding merit. Tough draw but will be running on late. SLUGGER (3) was sound on debut over this route and can improve.
