Solid tempo with Outspoken Lad possessing the dash to work to the lead. BONDI PLUNGE (2) had found it hard to win another race prior to this season but since resuming from a spell she has gone back to back and gets to stay in the same grade for this assignment. She is up 2,5kg in weight but that should not be enough to stop her from completing the hat-trick. KEEP ATTACKING (3) has been holding his form over the winter and was runner-up behind the top pick here a fortnight ago. He meets that runner on level terms at the weights this time and is capable of turning the tables. MIA GUSTO (7) is heading the right way with her form as her fitness improves and was only a short-head away from the winner when finishing runner-up at Bunbury 16 days ago. Her next win is not far away. SUNBRONZED (5) was back in winning form with an effortless all-the-way win in lesser company here 10 days ago. He seems suited by the new front-running tactics and could be the one to peg back again. Stick with him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keep Attacking each-way.
