COCOMELON didn't go unnoticed when finishing 6th (not beaten far) over 1600m on her return from a rest. She would have tightened up since and this extended trip should be more to her liking. Consistent older rivals TEO TORRIATTE and UNITED COUNCIL are closely matched on recent form and both have the means to threaten the selection. SOLDIER'S EYE and last-start winner KISSING MACHINE go the trip for the first time but can't be taken lightly. Progressive LAVA LAMP will be tested at this level but she remains open to improvement.
