4-4 Northam 11Sep26 2190SS Trial Fr3 Donald Harper btn 61.6m, wnr HIGH STAKES KING 0.0, (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Didn't do much at the last run, was well back in the run when 9th (Fr5) over 1780m at Northam beaten 10 m by Fireball Friday (2:14.50) in 4yo+ on August 11 at $151. Before that was driven from back in the field when 9th (Fr4) over 1780m at Northam beaten 35 m by Allwoods Chevron (2:12.10) in 4yo+ on July 25 at $126. This looks a far sterner task.

7-8 Northam 18Sep26 1780MS $6,240 1-3 WINs 4U Fr5 Lachlan Kennelly $8, btn 28m, wnr Infinite Merit 0, 2:00.0 (n/a,n/a,n/a,n/a)

Failed to impress last start; was well back in the run when 7th (Fr5) over 1780m at Northam beaten 30 m by Infinite Merit (2:12.70) in 4yo+ on September 18 at $7.50. Showed ability the run before when she won by 11 m (Sr1) at Northam (2:45.10) beating Lady Aquila in 4yo+ on September 11 at $6.50. Can bounce back to form.

Last start 11th (Fr7) over 2130m after showing early speed at Gloucester Park beaten 30 m by Star Of Orion (2:36.00) in 4yo+ on September 22 at $19. Before that, 4th (Sr5) over 2185m at Pinjarra beaten 7 m by Princess Diamond (2:39.90) in 4yo+ on September 14 at $3.80. Drawn favourably and deserves another chance.

Resuming after a layoff of ten months. Well beaten at the end of her last preparation when ninth unwanted in the market behind Tubbs Farquhar. Probably needs this hitout.

At the run before was driven from back in the field when 7th (Fr4) over 2130m at this track beaten 30 m by Luzia (2:41.60) in 4yo+ on August 30 at $61. Expecting a much better run this time.
