Abundant early pressure from the speedy pair Rommel's Jeuney and Divine Judgement. BELLE JOURNEE (6) wasn't far away in a tougher event last time out, beaten 2.8L in a Cl5 at Pinjarra. She was a narrow winner at this trip two back and now gets Pike in the saddle from an inside alley. The one to beat if she can run up to that figure from two starts ago. MAJOR MARIO (1) looks a progressive gelding who was a good winner at Pinjarra 13 days ago, scoring by 0.4L. He's building an impressive record and he still looks to have improvement to come. Can continue to work through the grades. THE CHIEF JUSTICE (5) returned with a good effort over 1100m at Geraldton and steps straight out to this trip now. He is a winner second-up in the past and if he can build on what he did first-up, he'll be right in the finish. LIEUTENANT DUNBAR (3) is better than he showed last time out and is on the quick turnaround today. Big tick with Parnham taking the ride and he can be right in the finish. TRULY AWESOME (8) has claims on recent efforts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Belle Journee can go back-to-back.
