Verdict

BONUS SEASON (1) was beaten first up here but lost no admirers, beaten a nose as a well-supported favourite having charged home from back in the field. She stays at 6f but should be a bit sharper for that fresh run and will be well fancied to go one better. FARAKTA (4) ran a solid race on debut at Pakenham when finding the line strongly from a tricky spot for third. Lane goes on from a soft gate and she'll take plenty of holding out here. KOKESHI (6) has been good in two runs back, perhaps unsuited dropping back to 5f last time. Third up now, out to 6f, she can take catching. HEAVY IS THE HEAD (5) has been okay in four runs to date and gets a nice run back up to 6f. TISSEYRE (7) resumes for her second campaign and can be an improver.
