Verdict

MR MELLON (8) is the one to beat after a sharp start to his career, winning a Mdn on debut from Call Me Invincible before going to Open grade and finishing fourth to Roger, beaten just over a length. He raced keenly there yet still held his form, and the return to Class 3 company reads well. CHINO BAY (5) resumes from stakes assignments, having contested the Listed Natasha Stakes and G3 WA Oaks last campaign, and her latest second at Lark Hill suggests she has had a suitable grounding. Can resume with a positive performance. SWIFT TALKER (1) was below his best in Open grade last start, but his prior second to Bosun in NMW1Y company is strong enough for this, with the 3kg claim helping. Watch for him late in the race. JAVELIN STRIKE (2) comes off a decisive CL1 win at Northam as favourite, beating Quick Cookie by two and a half lengths. Impressive there and that effort suggests he's up to this effort. LEETRON (6) won't be far away.

    Verdict
    Took on Open grade at Belmont Park last start and was far from disgraced, finishing fourth to Roger and beaten just over a length after racing keenly in front. That followed a strong debut Mdn win over 1200m, where he beat Call Me Invincible with something in hand. Back in grade now should suit and he can make every post a winner.

    Verdict
    Had little go right in terms of position last start when second last in an Open at Belmont Park, beaten six and a half lengths after giving away a big start, but there was no clear excuse for the plain finish. His second to Bosun in NMW1Y grade two back reads far better, and he returns to 1400m with one win and two placings from four tries. Back to 1400m with a 3kg claim, he can bounce back.

    Verdict
    Put the race away with authority at Northam last start, winning a Class 1 as favourite by two and a half lengths from Quick Cookie. That was a clear turnaround from his seventh behind Grandad's Adiction at Belmont Park, where he lacked the dash to threaten in NMW1Y company. Too good last time out and while he is up in grade, he can repeat the dose.

    Returns from a five-month break after finishing 11th behind Speed Bubble at Belmont Park, beaten just under five lengths at long odds without offering a serious challenge. She had earlier placed in a Class 3 despite covering ground and being hampered. Happy to bet around her.

    Verdict
    Returns from a lengthy spell after tackling the G3 WA Oaks at this track, where she was slow away and beaten over 12 lengths in a much stronger staying test. Her Listed Natasha Stakes sixth two back was more competitive, and she has since trialled second at Lark Hill. Fitter for two trials coming in and watch for her flying late in the race.

    Verdict
    Resumes after three months off following a sound fifth in a 1 Metro Win at Belmont Park, beaten just under two lengths after being run down late. Her previous run at Pinjarra Scarpside was plain despite being near the top of betting, so she is not easy to trust completely. No trial coming in makes her a tricky horse to line up.

    Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a wide run when seventh in a 1 Metro Win at this track, beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. He had also been safely held behind Lillian in a BM66+ before that. Happy to wait and see how he returns.

    Verdict
    Was steadied passing the 300m when seventh in a Class 5 at Northam last start, beaten four and a half lengths, so the result can be treated with some caution. His previous third to Champagne Crusader in NMW1Y company at Belmont Park was solid at long odds. Is better than he showed last time out and can improve.

    Verdict
    Began slowly and raced keenly when sixth in NMW1Y grade at Kalgoorlie last start, beaten three and a half lengths at big odds. The run prior at Mt Newman was better, charging into third from an unlikely position over 1200m. Hard to have on her recent form.

    Verdict
    Resumes after six months off having finished second last at Albany in a BM66+, beaten over 12 lengths at big odds with no obvious excuse. His third to Renovation Show two starts back was more competitive, but that came over further ground. Looking elsewhere.

    Verdict
    Comes back quickly after finishing sixth in a BM44+ at York, beaten five lengths after beginning slowly and settling too far back. She was also safely held at Belmont Park two back at big odds. Recent form is plain, so minor money looks the aim.
