Protege to take charge ahead of More Than Enuff at a good tempo. WEERAECHOUX (6) produced a strong first-up effort when 1L behind a progressive galloper at Pinjarra. The wide draw is a little sticky, but he's expected to have come on following the fresh run. Still has plenty of upside and his best efforts have come over this trip. The one to beat. MORE THAN ENUFF (1) wasn't far behind the winner at Pinjarra 20 days ago and gets some weight relief with the claim of Martinan. Can be prominent in the run and is expected to prove tough to run past third-up into the prep. PANDORA GIRL (7) should appreciate getting back out in distance and is not to be discounted. STRIKING FELLA (4) led and won over this trip first-up and now gets Pike in the saddle. Can repeat the dose. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Weeraechoux.
