COFFIN DODGER (2) faced the starter for the second time a fortnight ago in a similar maiden to this and was beaten half a length after racing on the pace. Progressed nicely on that occasion and can go one better here. LOCHLORIAN (4) returned form an eight-month spell and improved sharply on his only previous run, beaten a length over 6f at Warrnambool. Slight query with him coming back in trip but still likely to play a big role. DAZZLING SKY (3) resumes with a few gear changes. Betting watch advised on him and also in TAKEKO (7) who is on debut for Ciaron Maher.
