Track: AW     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Cesar Bessan and Just Remember It can be prominent. The speedy TOCHKA (6) built on the 58 win with a near miss at Cranbourne this trip/level. She tried to go one better there following, but folded up badly (vet cleared). Meech takes over from the apprentice and will run her along. In the right stable and is worth another chance. JUST REMEMBER IT (3) prepared well and resumed for the new stable with an easy Pakenham Maiden win. He impressed and will strip fitter. Coffey will give him every chance from an inside barrier. MORNING DARLING (1) resumes and has raced well on this surface. He's been off the scene for a while but has jumped out well. Proven fresh and keep him very safe. COSMIC RHAPSODY (7) resumes and has jumped out positively at Donald. Has the blinkers on again and looks capable of getting some minor cash. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Tochka.
