COTTESLOE ran well over 1m2f at Sandown last time but was beaten only a head at Doncaster over today's trip before that. This is easier and he is preferred to the less exposed pair Mishghar and Light Wave. Trafalgar Rock was still beaten five lengths when second at Southwell but Who'sthedaddy may be capable of better stepping up in trip having landed a double over 1m2f last month. Both Grey Gem and Salient finished down the field in the same race here a fortnight ago.
