THE WEALTH ADVISER BEYOND 2025 HANDICAP 1000m
Abundant pace from She's Capitana, Last Stylebender and Paint It Red vying for the lead with Rapid Rock on their backs. SHE'S CAPITANA (8) got the job done last start in a 1000m maiden at Northam, winning by 0.9L and turning in a strong figure to do so. She jumped favourite there but showed plenty of class and this looks to shape nicely for her again with Pike sticking. Looks a nice filly on the rise and can notch up back-to-back wins. LAST STYLEBENDER (1) led off a 72-day break at Ascot over 1000m and was only collared late, beaten 0.2L by a progressive type. Fitter for that effort and should be prominent in the run once again. Easier here and will give them something to chase. OVERDRIVE (3) was well backed first-up but couldn't fend off her rivals late, beaten 1.5L after sitting on the speed. Better for that run and Parnham sticks in this similar race. Fitter now and can go a couple better. PAINT IT RED (6) will find this much easier than her recent efforts and her best form would see her hard to beat. KING'S DRAMA (2) is racing well and has to be included. SUGGESTED PLAY: She's Capitana creates plenty of appeal. |

SCHWEPPES HANDICAP 1000m
Spicy Thang and Bambino Chino should set a strong tempo. FLYING FRANKIE (1) hasn't been beaten far in stronger races than this so far this campaign, finishing 1.2L away when favourite behind a smart one last time out. The inside draw is a big tick and if he can run up to his recent form up in weight, then he'll give them something to chase. SPICY THANG (2) was ridden quieter last start at Belmont and stormed home to win by 0.3L over this trip. Suspect they'll do the same from a wide barrier today. The figures she turned in last start are strong for a race like this and while she rises in weight, she can bring up back-to-back wins. NINETYMILESTRAIGHT (7) just missed fresh before finishing 2.6L behind what looks a good one last time out. Maps to get every chance once again and can put herself in the finish. WILUNA LASS (8) disappointed on debut but has been back tot he trials since where she was impressive. Can bounce back in a big way. BAMBINO CHINO (6) bolted in at the trials recently and has to be included. SUGGESTED PLAY: Flying Frankie looks the one to beat back in grade. |

BISLEY WORKWEAR HANDICAP 1500m
Moderate pace only with Queen's Sacrifice leading Allegro Sonata. CAVALLO RED (4) ran on strongly over the mile here two back before stretching in trip last start and being just fair. Back to 1500m today looks ideal and Chris Parnham replaces the apprentice hoop. Maps well back in grade and he looks the one to beat. EXTREME LOVE (7) finished off strongly from midfield when 1.5L off the winner. The form out of the race has worked out well and she drops in weight today. Can lob midfield and storm home once again. COLD SHIZZLE (1) finished 1.5L behind last start in much stronger company over the mile here. Hasn't won for a while but is drops right back in grade today and he can return to form. MASTER ALEX (5) missed in a photo finish last start and while this is tougher, his figures stack up off that performance. Can feature in the finish again. LOVA SESSION (2) should get his chance under Pike. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cavallo Red gets the nod. |

HUNTER MANNING RECRUITMENT MAIDEN 1800m
Doubt they will go too hard without a noted leader engaged. MASMELO (12) has been storming home in impressive fashion her past couple of starts, being 2.6L off the winner last start over 1400m. The rise to 1800m now looks perfect and she remains right down in the weights. Well suited here and can break her maiden. MISS GRAPHENE (6) comes back from 2212m where she was very strong late in the race, beaten 0.4L at Northam. Shaun O'Donnell remains in the saddle and he may be able to sit a touch closer from an inside draw today. Right in the mix following her latest performance. YALDA NIGHT (4) hasn't been far away in recent efforts, flying home to be 3.2L away last start at Belmont. He should be suited by the rise in trip now despite the wide draw being a bit of a niggle. Recent figures stack right up and he's expected to be in the finish. SAVVY RULER (7) bumped into a subsequent Saturday winner last start and now gets Pike in the saddle. Can go one better now. LAST MILE (9) is next best dropping back in trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Masmelo goes on top. |

TABTOUCH - HAVE YOU GOT THE TOUCH HANDICAP 1800m
Monty Zoomer should find the front with Beejay Boy and Saulok on his heels. OPAL TANGO (10) sat on the speed last start over this course and distance but couldn't go on with the job, beaten 3L. That looked a relatively strong CL1 however and now up in grade she drops in weight. The better draw today is a big tick and she's expected to turn in a bold performance. GRANDAD'S ADICTION (3) stuck on strongly over 1400m at Belmont last time out, beaten just 0.6L. Steve Parnham now hops in the saddle in a good push for his chances. Looks suited by the rise in trip now and can put his best foot forward. ALMAYA (5) got the job done by 0.4L last start with the second horse coming out and winning last Wednesday. This looks to shape similarly today from a decent alley. Can repeat the dose. MONTY ZOOMER (6) was too good from the front at Kalgoorlie and can go back-to-back with Pike replacing the apprentice hoop. KNOCKONEBACK (8) is racing well and has to be included. SUGGESTED PLAY: Opal Tango can land the knockout blow. |

ASCEND TROPHIES HANDICAP 1200m
Solid pace with Awesome Boy finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. SAVAGE DANCER (9) was a savage drifter in betting first-up but looked the winner midway down the Belmont straight before her fitness gave way. Better for that run and out to 1200m now is a big tick. Pike rides from a much better barrier and she looks set to go one better. AWESOME BOY (1) resumes here without a trial, but he showed good ability in his 3YO campaign which saw him start a $10 chance at Listed level. Can be positive from the draw and he'll give a bold sight if he's fit enough. HARD SOLO (10) bolted in two back at Geraldton and took on the Belgravia last time out where she wasn't disgraced. Down in the weights again today and she has the speed to offset the sticky barrier. Can put her best foot forward. GOLD FLAKES (2) got back to winning ways last time out and can build on that performance. ALASKALOT (3) hasn't been to the races since 2023, though showed promising signs in his recent trial. Any market moves have to be respected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Savage Dancer can go one better. |

SWAN DRAUGHT HANDICAP 1400m
Plenty of pace from the outset with Five Down and Ladies Pro leading the charge. LADIES PRO (8) was a dominant winner on debut over 1000m, with her late strength the highlight of her 17L win. The sharp rise in trip is a query, though her breeding and late splits suggest it's not a problem. Can remain unbeaten in what looks a suitable race. STRAPPING PROPHET (5) got a long way back first-up at Belmont when the race favourite and could only finish 1.3L off the winner off a short break. He'll be better for that effort and out to 1400m is a big tick now. Can return to winning ways. HEWILLDOUS (4) stuck on well at Geraldton last time out and turned in a good figure in the process. Third-up now and well placed from the barrier. Can put his best foot forward. MANJERI (2) steps out in trip today but his last two wins have been impressive. Can bring up the hat-trick. TOO MUCH TALK (1) is better than he showed last time out when caught wide throughout. Can bounce back today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ladies Pro can make it back-to-back victories. |

TABTOUCH - BURGESS QUEEN STAKES 1400m
Ourgirlcanrun has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. The feature of the day now and TALKANCO (1) gets a more favourable set up today after a big effort in the Belgravia. The inside draw is a big tick today as she'll sit much closer than she did last time out. Won well fresh and she can bounce back to winning form. PLAYIN'IT SWEET (2) comes through a different formline where she took on the older horses in a 72+ and she held her own. Back to her won age and sex today looks ideal and she continues to raise the bar. Can bounce back to winning ways. ZOURUN RUN (6) was good first-up in the Belgravia and is expected to have come on from that performance. She looks well placed on the back of that effort and she remains down in the weights. Can make her presence felt again. OURGIRLCANRUN (9) bolted in last start and turned in a strong figure in the process. Tougher now but she looks up to the task. RIVA AQUARAMA (7) was strong from the back and ticks a few boxes out in trip now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Talkanco in the Burgess Queen. |

WITTENS IRRIGATION & DESIGN HANDICAP 1600m
Battle Fleet has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. DOMINATUS (5) looks an exciting prospect on the way up, mowing his rivals down at Northam last time out. Stepping up to the mile now looks ideal and Pike sticking as he comes to town is a good push for his chances. No doubt aiming for the 3YO features during The Pinnacles and can show his class today. ACROSS GENERATIONS (2) is on the quick turnaround from Saturday where he was a little disappointing from well back in the field. Well placed here now from an inside barrier and if he handles the back up, he'll go close. MISS VEUVE (3) won impressively two back and stormed home once again at Northam last time out, finishing 0.6L off the winner. Her recent ratings stack up as she comes to town now and the 3kg claim comes in handy. Can be finishing strongly. REEL SERENITY (4) only just missed fresh and the rise in trip suits. SIR DUSKIN (1) will be better for the fresh run and he's in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dominatus looks the one to beat in the last. |
