Owhatanight debuts at the track having placed in similar classified races the last twice but ARCHIMEDES is proven on the surface. The latter placed yet again when third over course and distance recently but the drop down to this level may finally bring a return to winning ways. Kit's Allanah and Kommander Kirkup finished behind the selection here earlier but Popple may improve with blinkers fitted for the first time today.
