Solid tempo set by Lord Gannicus and Tallangatta who are both capable of leading. FLOWER IN THE WIND (1) brought up the hat-trick with an impressive 1.3L victory over 2400m last start. The drop back in trip shouldn't be an issue and she maps for a lovely run under Steve Parnham. Did it easy last start and can keep the winning streak alive. BEATS OF WAR (4) disappointed over 1800m last time out and should appreciate getting back out in trip. Only 0.7L away in the Geraldton Cup two back and he should get every chance for CJP. Best form is good enough to be winning this. LORD GANNICUS (3) steps into uncharted territory. He was a good winner of the Narrogin Cup two back and stuck on well over the mile last time out. Out to 2200m is the query, but he has the talent to be in this for a long way. FAT ROY SLIM (5) sprinted quickly to get the job done at Pinjarra last time out and has claims. LET'SDEAL (2) is better than he showed last start and is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Flower In The Wind can bring up her fourth win in a row.
