GOING: G

PEGASUS AND MILNE FEEDS MADE IN WA FOR WA MS PACE 2130m

Track: GOOD      

EN PARIANT SUR (6) is a newcomer to the Matthew Scott yard where he was last seen when winning at Parkes three-and-a-half months ago. He looks well placed to kick off in the west with a strong showing. SONIC SEELSTER (4) backs up after he led and stuck on okay to finish midfield in a higher-graded race on Tuesday. Had looked close to a win when runner-up from wider barriers in his previous two outings. Major player. SUNDANCER RAINBOW (9) draws wide but the form reads well, completing a winning hat trick by scoring here two back before placing last time at Pinjarra. DOUBLE THE ANTE (10) hit his peak in a third-up win last time and could take the next step with even luck from the back row.
