MARIKO (8) was 4. 5 lengths from the winner in fifth over 6¼f at Newcastle last time following a minor placing on debut the run before. Backmarker who keeps coming. Well placed and worth another chance. PRESOCRATICS (4) last appeared when he finished sixth over 6¼f at Geelong on July 25. Has switched to the Gary Clem yard. Capable of playing a major role. PANIGALE (3) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when fifth over 5¼f at this track after he was in the firing line on the bend. Will strip fitter and is capable of sharp improvement. UNIFIES (7) resumes from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months and is having his first outing under new trainer Joshua Manzelmann. Finished 11th at Pakenham Synthetic over 6f at the opening run last time in work.
