Closed strongly from well back when fourth in a 3yo+ Maiden over 1000m at Carnarvon, beaten just over two lengths after being near the top of betting. The start prior, he was third over 1400m but beaten nine and a half lengths after failing to quicken and laying in. The 1200m is the test, but recent form makes him a live winning chance.

Returns from a five-month break after a Geraldton fifth over 1619m, beaten just over three lengths in provincial company after being steadied near the 1300m. He had been a much better second there over 1403m at long odds, finishing strongly despite covering ground. Profiles as a genuine place hope.

Returns from a two-month freshening after two plain Carnarvon efforts, the latest a seventh to Tango Rhythm when beaten just over seven lengths and unwanted in the market. He had no clear excuse after sitting close enough, and the prior 1000m sixth was similar. Class drop and claim help, but he needs to find a much sharper finish.

Was safely held in a 3yo+ Benchmark 48+ at Junction, finishing sixth and beaten over 11 lengths after racing at big odds from the rear. His Carnarvon third six days earlier reads better, beaten just under two lengths in a 3yo+ Maiden and finishing ahead of Any Questions. Needs to reproduce the Carnarvon placing to get involved.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing last at Carnarvon, beaten over 17 lengths at big odds and weakening badly after sitting just off the lead. Her previous run was another last, beaten a long way over 1000m after beginning awkwardly. Needs a clear form turnaround.

Returns from a five-month break after a Geraldton ninth in provincial grade, beaten eight and a half lengths after beginning slowly and racing wide throughout. The run prior was more competitive when fourth to Sneaky Session, beaten four and a half lengths. Can feature fresh.

Returns off a six-week let-up after going close at Broome, finishing second in a 3yo+ Maiden and beaten half a length despite being unwanted in the market. That followed a fourth there when she charged home from well back at long odds, so the improvement looks genuine. Wide draw is the main query, but she is a key chance.

Returns from a three-month break for Kym Tilka after finishing last at Kalgoorlie over 1400m, beaten four and a half lengths on soft ground after weakening from the 500m. Her Northam run prior was an eighth, beaten just under five lengths at long odds. Class drop helps, though the 1200m return has a query.

Returns from a three-month freshening after a second-last finish at Kalgoorlie, beaten seven lengths in provincial company when unwanted in the market and unable to make ground. The Newcastle run before that was weaker again, beaten over 13 lengths on soft ground. Needs much more.

Returns from a four-month break after nearly breaking through at Carnarvon, leading over 1400m and being beaten a nose by Dashing Diva at big odds. The run prior was a sound fourth there, beaten three and a half lengths after also showing early control. Back to 1200m is the question, but she has a real place profile.

Started at big odds in a Bunbury 3yo+ Maiden last week and finished tenth, beaten over 11 lengths after beginning slowly and never looking likely. The Northam run before that was also a heavy defeat, though he raced wide throughout over 1600m. a minor-money finish would require a sharp turnaround.
