Resumes after eight months off following a solid York sixth, where he pressed forward and was beaten two lengths by Knockonheavensdoor in a 2yo+ Maiden. His previous fifth at the same venue was also sound after leading and working home evenly. The 4kg claim helps, although three tries around 1190m without a placing keeps the distance record as the query. The 4kg claim helps and he is a genuine winning hope.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing last at Geraldton, beaten over 13 lengths at long odds, with the wide run some excuse but not enough to hide the margin. He had also been beaten eight and a half lengths at Northam despite another incident near the 400m. Wide run excused part of last start, but major improvement is required.

Resumes after three months off with first-time blinkers to sharpen him after two plain Northam runs. He ended last campaign last in a 2yo+ Maiden over 1300m on soft ground, beaten over 12 lengths after racing keenly and covering ground. His debut also showed greenness, so the gear change is the clear positive. Recent form is modest, but the gear change gives him a place-improvement angle.

Second-up after an 11th at Bunbury on debut, beaten just over seven lengths after being bumped at the start and racing wide throughout. He was unwanted in the market there, but the run had enough against it to avoid judging him too harshly. His earlier trials included a Belmont Park second, so there is some grounding behind him. Second-up from barrier 3, he has a clear improvement case.

Was held up when sixth in a 2yo+ Maiden at Mingenew last week, beaten just under five lengths after being unwanted in the market. That was better than her Carnarvon run prior, where she was last and beaten over 17 lengths after weakening badly. Others make more appeal.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a Broome fifth, beaten just over two lengths at long odds after racing wide throughout. That was a better effort than her previous last at the same venue, and a Belmont Park trial a few weeks ago adds some readiness. Trial helps, but the 29-start maiden record keeps her in the roughie bracket.

Improved enough first-up when fifth in a 2yo+ Maiden at Mingenew, beaten just over four lengths at generous odds, though she laid in through the home straight. Her previous Geraldton run was weaker, beaten eight and a half lengths after beginning slowly and racing wide. Second-up here but I'm happy to bet around him.

Drops out of a 3yo+ Class 1 at Carnarvon where she was ninth, beaten over 10 lengths at big odds after giving little in the straight. Her run prior was far better, beaten a neck over 1000m when near the top of an open market, so there is a recent placing to work from. Distance record says place claims are safer than win confidence.

Was well fancied at Mingenew last week but missed the start and finished last, beaten over 19 lengths, so that run has to be treated with caution. The positive is her Carnarvon second two back, beaten a nose by Dashing Diva in a 2yo+ Maiden after leading. Her nose second two back is good enough to give her place claims if she jumps cleanly.

Resumes after three months off and brings the best winning profile in a modest maiden. She ended last campaign with a plain Pinjarra run when second last, but was bumped near the 400m and had earlier closed nicely for fifth at Bunbury, beaten just over four lengths in a 2yo+ Maiden. Bunbury fifth two back reads well for this and she gets the right setup to strike fresh.

Resumes after eight months off following a second-last finish at Ascot, beaten over 16 lengths in a 2yo+ Maiden after beginning slowly and racing keenly. He had also been well beaten at Pinjarra Scarpside, again showing keenness through the middle stages. Not here.

Returns from a two-month let-up after a tough Broome win over 1300m, where he sat handy, took over before the turn and beat Great Edition by just under a length. He was only an outside chance in betting there, which adds merit, and his earlier Derby fourth in a 3yo+ Benchmark 68+ was better than last of four reads. Carries weight, but the claim helps and his recent form makes him the one to beat.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a plain 14th at Belmont Park, beaten just over seven lengths after being unwanted in the market. His previous Kalgoorlie run also left him well held at long odds. Can't see him featuring.

Backs up quickly after finishing fourth in a 2yo+ Benchmark 62+ at Mingenew, beaten three and a half lengths after being slow to begin. Two back at Mt Newman he was awkward away, raced wide throughout and failed to finish off in a 3yo+ Benchmark 56+. Slow starts remain the query, but he has the profile to run into a place.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing last at Broome in a 3yo+ Benchmark 58+, beaten nine lengths after travelling on speed and weakening without excuse. His Derby second in a 3yo+ Benchmark 68+ two runs back reads better, and he did beat Climb On Top home there, but he must reproduce that run rather than the latest one. The Derby second gives him some hope, but he has to rebound strongly to threaten.

Returns off a six-week let-up after a solid second in a 3yo+ Benchmark 68+ at Mt Newman, beaten two lengths by Kings Call despite racing wide throughout. That followed a Broome fifth where he was slow away, covered ground and still charged home after being near the top of an open market. His Broome run had merit too, and he rates the clear danger with the right run.

Was well beaten in Saturday company at Belmont Park last start, finishing last in a 4yo+ NMW1Y over 1400m on soft ground after tracking the speed and offering little. She was also beaten over 11 lengths at Kalgoorlie the run prior. A minor placing is the more realistic aim.

Back from a six-month break after closing last campaign with a flat last at Narrogin in a 2yo+ Benchmark 44+, beaten over 11 lengths after settling rearward and failing to come on. His York fourth prior had some late merit, but he has not won in 12 tries around this distance. Happy to bet around him first-up.

Comes through a provincial 3yo+ Class 5 at Bunbury where he was hampered early but still finished ninth, beaten five and a half lengths after finding little when asked. His Belmont Park run prior was weaker again on soft ground. Finds the right race to improve.

Arrives in strong form after winning a 2yo+ Benchmark 62+ at Mingenew by two and a half lengths as favourite, backing up a tough Open second to Pharoah Show at Carnarvon when beaten a neck. The 3kg claim helps offset the big weight and Tara Atherden is two from two on him. The 1800m record is the query, but he has solid place claims.

Had some excuse when sixth in a 3yo+ Open at Carnarvon, racing wide throughout before finishing eight lengths from Pharoah Show at long odds. His previous third at Junction was sound enough after leading and battling on, and he has a usable record around 1800m. Others make more appeal.

Eases back from Saturday company after finishing ninth in a 3yo+ 1 Metro Win at Belmont Park, beaten just over two lengths on soft ground despite starting at big odds. Two runs this campaign have been below her best on paper, but she is fourth-up, Jefferson Tsang has won twice on her, and three wins from nine tries around 1800m reads well. Strong winning chance.

Backs up after finishing fourth to Hard Questions in a 2yo+ Benchmark 62+ at Mingenew, where a slow beginning did him no favours before he was beaten just under five lengths. His Belmont Park run prior was plain, finishing last and unwanted in the market, though there was some interference. Place at best.

Comes off the right form after winning a 3yo+ NMW1Y at Belmont Park, looming at the turn and fighting on to beat Vancouver Storm by just over half a length. That followed a solid fourth to Back To Bondi at the same venue, and he now gets weight relief while stepping to a trip his overall record supports. Brings the clearest winning case.

Drops back from a 3yo+ Open at Carnarvon, but his seventh there was plain after he made no ground and finished eight and a half lengths from Pharoah Show at big odds. He had also disappointed as a well-supported favourite at Junction, beaten just over eight lengths. Only an outside chance.

Improved when fifth in a 3yo+ Class 3 at Bunbury, beaten two and a half lengths by Sandfire Rose after working into it but only holding his ground late. The Belmont Park run before was poor on soft ground after early tightening, so the latest effort is the better guide. Weight relief helps him look a realistic place chance.

Dropped out to finish last in a 3yo+ Benchmark 68+ at Carnarvon over 1200m, beaten just over nine lengths, and there was no obvious excuse in the run. The key is the return to 1000m, where his record is much stronger, and he has already won at this track and trip. Strong rebound chance.

Eased back from Saturday company after finishing ninth at Belmont Park in a 3yo+ Benchmark 66+, beaten six and a half lengths when unwanted in the market. His previous NMW1Y run had more merit, closing off from well back despite covering ground on soft going. Must turn form around, but this suits.

Returned to winning form at Carnarvon, sitting behind the leaders before finishing strongly to beat Coondle by just over a length. He had been favourite when well held at Junction the start prior, where Weapons Hot had his measure, so there is a form-line query. The Weapons Hot form line is a query, but his 1000m record keeps him prominent.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing last in a 3yo+ Class 2 at Broome, beaten over 11 lengths, though he did race wide throughout. His prior win came in a 3yo+ Maiden as an odds-on favourite, so this is a tougher level of proof. Others make more appeal.

Returns from a lengthy eight-month spell after ending last preparation with a fourth at York, beaten just over two lengths as a well-supported favourite. His Belmont Park fourth before that was also sound enough, and he is one from one at this venue. Fitness has to be taken on trust, but his best form gives him place claims.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a wide run at Northam in a 3yo+ Maiden, finishing sixth and beaten nine lengths on heavy ground. She had been closer at Bunbury the run prior when fifth, beaten just over three lengths, but the market has shown little interest in both. A sizeable lift is required.

Has been well held in both runs this campaign, most recently second last at Carnarvon over 1400m after racing wide throughout. The start prior was worse, finishing last in a 3yo+ Benchmark 48+ at Junction and beaten over 18 lengths. Others make more appeal.

Returns from a two-month let-up in consistent form, having run third and second in consecutive 3yo+ Class 2 races at Broome. The concern is that both were over much further, and his record around 1000m is only modest. More a minor hope.

Returns from a six-month break after ending last preparation with two heavy defeats at Geraldton, the latest when slow away and beaten over 14 lengths in a 2yo+ Class 2. That form is hard to endorse, but he has won twice in the past 12 months. Place claims if sharper fresh.

Returns from a five-month break after leading in a 2yo+ Class 1 at Pinjarra and being run down late, beaten six lengths. His previous third at Northam on soft ground was sound enough, and he has won around 1000m before. Can give a sight if forward enough.
