Plenty of pace from the outset with Swift Streaker and Memphis Minx leading the charge. DELICATE WARRIOR (4) bumped into a good one to end last campaign over the mile, but showed good promise. His trial coming into this was very solid and the 1400m first-up looks ideal. Ticks plenty of boxes on resumption and can return on a winning note. COME ON EMMA (3) should be nearing peak fitness third-up following a good effort from off the speed at Pinjarra last start. Out to 1400m now but she looks well placed from a handy barrier and it wouldn't surprise to see her get over the top. NICKELPLAY (7) comes back from the mile today after a good effort in what has turned out to be a hot form race. Her form over this trip prior was very solid and with a good gate, she can be in the finish. THE CRIMSON PIRATE (10) showed enough on debut over 1100m when sticking on gamely and he can put his best foot forward. TALKAWAY (8) was too good at Northam last week and can repeat the dose. SUGGESTED PLAY: Delicate Warrior can land the knockout blow.
