NUM TIME COMMENT
1 05:43 JONES BOYS GWM NEW ALPHA HYBRID UTE 3YO MAIDEN MS PACE 2100m
 DUNCAN TWENTYTWO (11) finished seventh last start over 2185m at Pinjarra, beaten 12 metres, after filling a minor placing at the previous appearance over 2185m at Pinjarra. Not drawn to best so may need a 10/10 drive. Meets a similar lineup and is capable of another bold performance. ULTIMATE EVENT (1) finished eighth last start over 2130m at Gloucester Park, beaten 40 metres, after finishing fourth at Gloucester Park the run prior. Has the benefit of a good draw. Tackles a similar assignment, and she can bounce back straight away. BOOM IT UP (8) is next in line, and although he has to contend with an awkward gate, a win is not out of the question. MONTERIO (10) is stepping out for the first time. By Sportswriter and hails from the P J Costello stable. No favours expected from this draw. Looks to have some ability based on a recent trial win. Likely to attract plenty of interest from punters.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
2 06:14 NEXUS MS PACE 2100m
 STAPLETON (4) scored a decisive win last time out over 1177m at Pinjarra, getting home by 14 metres in an impressive display. His last-start form is good enough to take out a race like this. SKIPPIN CLASS (3) finished second last start, beaten 40 metres at Bridgetown over 2190m. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. SPIRITOFANANGEL (9) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when she finished fourth at Gloucester Park over 2130m. RONA MAY (8) can secure a cosy run early on and is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 6 metres at Wagin over 2180m.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
3 06:55 SWAN DRAUGHT MS PACE 2100m
 SOUNDS LIKE FUN (2) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 5 metres from the winner in fifth over 1684m at Pinjarra. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Meets a comparable field and can take care of this lineup. ESCAPEFROMREALITY (9) finished second last start over 2180m at Wagin, beaten 6 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 2190m at Bridgetown. Needs to be at her best to beat this field, but she is good enough to play a major role. STEP IT UP (1) didn't do a bad job when sixth over 2180m at Wagin last time out. Each way claims from the perfect inside draw. I SEE FIRE (10) disappointed last time but is a chance based on a good third over 2130m at Gloucester Park two runs back.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
4 07:28 TABTOUCH MS PACE 2100m
 CRETACEOUS (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 4.5 metres from the winner in third over 2190m at Northam. Good enough to take out a race like this. DIAMOND DANCE (11) is the next best after finishing runner-up over 1776m at Wagin last time out. FRANKENSTEINSBRIDE (3) broke through last time out over 2130m at Gloucester Park. Must be included with the confidence up. LOW FLYIN (7) will find this easier than the last attempt in the city at the prior form was good. Can measure up in this line-up.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
5 08:00 DIGGERS CUP MS PACE 2100m
 SWIZZLESTICK (7) resumes from a spell of ten weeks after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid second over 2160m at Echuca. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Will have plenty of admirers. JAMIE KIM (3) turned in an uncharacteristically poor run last time out when 8 metres away in sixth over 2130m at Gloucester Park. Form prior to that had been solid. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Has the talent to return to something like his best. ALWAYSBFRANK (6) cops a tricky gate but comes right into contention after scoring last start by 5.5 metres at Northam over 2190m. JOEY JAMES (4) is worth some thought despite his last-start ninth over 2130m at Gloucester Park on April 18.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
6 08:29 SKY CHANNEL MS PACE 2100m
 GAITCRASHER (5) has recorded three wins and two minor placings from the past five starts. Maintained the impressive form last time when 1.2 metres from the winner in third over 2130m at Gloucester Park. Has the talent to find the winners' list. MY SWEET ADDICTION (1) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when 9 metres from the winner in fifth over 2130m at Gloucester Park. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. SWEET SASSYMOLASSY (2) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when she finished second at Bridgetown over 2190m. HES THUNDER (8) is the best of the rest after finishing fourth over 2190m at Northam last time out. Don't risk him.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
7 08:56 OAKFORD STOCKFEEDS DISC. HANDICAP SS PACE 2503m
 GOTA GOOD WARHOL (2) was out of the money two back at Central Wheatbelt. Turned in a better run last time out when second over 2180m at Wagin, beaten 11 metres. Stepping up a level this time, but on his best form, he is good enough to take this out. MISTER KOPA (4) scored at Central Wheatbelt three runs ago. Returned to something like that form last time out when second over 1177m at Pinjarra, beaten 5.5 metres. Good enough to win a race of this calibre. BETTERTHAN SECRET (7) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at Wagin over 2180m. Genuine threat. GOLD HORSESHOE (9) won't have to work too hard early on and is worth some thought after his last-start fourth over 2590m at Wagin on April 17.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
8 09:29 BREATHE ACCOUNTING MS TROT 2100m
 PATCHED (4) made it two in succession last start when he got the cash by a head over 2503m at Gloucester Park. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. LUVAFLAIR (3) finished fourth last start, beaten 11 metres at Gloucester Park over 2130m. Capable of playing a major role so has to be respected. THATS NOT MY GAIT (6) ended last prep with a second at Gloucester Park over 2536m. Capable of a forward showing while fresh. LOTS OF CHANGE (5) ended last prep with a fourth at Shepparton over 2190m ten weeks ago. Use the market as your best guide.  SUGGESTED PLAY:
