Verdict

Very competitive but SATURDAY SESH (2) is airborne and will take catching. Has won three of four this campaign, the latest at Kalgoorlie over the same trip when gave nothing else a chance. Unbeaten at this journey and has the inside so looks the one to run down. SWANSEE (6) resumed in the shorter race was was midfield in a career worst run. Two back just missed this trip in open class and will relish the extra ground here after the fresh-up miss. Should improve sharply. CLIMB ON TOP (1) is going well and returned to winning form at Belmont Park last time over this journey racing on speed. One of the leading hopes again. GOLD MAKER (3) has been runner-up three on end and deserves a win. Hit the line hard to just miss over a mile last time and back a furlong will give a start but charge home. HE'S ARCHIE (7) was safely held in the same race as Gold Maker last time. Doesn't win out of turn but best figures measure up and could be over the odds.

The race before that 2nd of 11 at Belmont Park 0Mwly on September 13 over 1200m, slow going 2.5 len behind Tropicconi with 56.5kg at $11. Overdue and should be running into the finish again.

At the latest run made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 at York on October 9 over 1200m, nose behind Pretty Devine with 58kg at $2.40. The run before that 3rd of 10 at Belmont Park Cl3 F&M on September 17 over 1300m, on a wet track; 2 len behind Ain'tsobad carrying 56.5kg at $3.70.

At the latest run couldn't go on with it; second last of 11 at this track 0Mwly on October 11 over 1600m, 7 len behind Wembanyama with 57kg at $41. Before that faded in the straight 6th of 9 at Bunbury Cl5 on September 18 over 1400m, slow going 3.5 len behind Speak To Me with 56.5kg at $4.80. Unlikely to threaten.
