Sky Duke, He's Gold and Oscar Charlie all possess good speed. SKY DUKE (1) faded late last start over 1200m at this track following a bold effort over this course and distance two back. Back to 1000m looks a big tick for him and he can sit on the speed from a good gate. Gaerth's claim comes in handy and he'll be very hard to run down. SNIPPY WHICH (2) ended last campaign in poor style but his prior form was much better than that run suggested. His trial coming in was very good and the booking of Pike suggests he's ready to fire first-up. Can return on a winning note. OSCAR CHARLIE (4) got back to winning ways last start in emphatic fashion, bolting in by 55.5L in easier company at Narrogin. While this is harder, the ratings stack up from that effort and he can put himself into the finish. IF I DIN HAVADIME (6) is better than he showed last start and getting back to this trip looks ideal. Can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sky Duke can get back to winning form.
