Genuine tempo with Niccimota to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. DAYTONA PETE (2) showed plenty of ability in his last campaign, ending with a strong win over 1200m here in this grade. He's had a quiet trial coming in and the stable's strike jockey is booked for his return. Can sit just off the speed and pick up where he left off last campaign. KEEP ITA MYSTERY (1) was too good over this course and distance last time out in BM66+ grade, running over the top to score by 0.4L The form out of that race has been very strong and Gaerth's 2kg claim comes in handy. Can go back-to-back without surprising. BLACK ORA (4) jumped $1.26 fresh at Pinjarra and was a class above on the Scarpside, running away to win by 2.2L. This is tougher, but Pike sticks and she maps for a lovely run once again. Sure to play a leading role. FLAGSHIP (3) is some niggle back to this trip but was odds-on last start when winning. His form reads well for a race like this. NICCIMOTA (7) led and bolted in at this trip last start and has to be included. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Daytona Pete in the opener.
