Off the low draw the speedy Kermit's Luck should lead at a genuine tempo. PLATINUM SHOT (4) just missed over this trip at Geraldton last start, going under in a photo finish. She now gets Chris Parnham back in the irons and she's drawn to get every chance once again. Rates highly on her last start effort and can go one better this time. DIAMOND ROCKS (7) was well back and never really a winning hope over the Ascot 1200m last time out, beaten 2.1L. Up to this trip looks ideal now as she hits her peak fourth-up. Wide draw is a concern, but she rates the testing material with improvement anticipated. KERMIT'S LUCK (5) is in no-man's land at the moment, having won on debut in August before a couple of disappointing efforts last campaign. Recent trial was only fair, but CJP rides and he's showed that he has the talent. He just needs to extract it now. LIEUTENANT DUNBAR (2) just missed on the Scarpside here 20 days ago and is not to be discounted. SPORTS TALK (6) got the job done over this trip at Ascot and warrants plenty of respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Platinum Shot can win the last.
