Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: +2m Entire.  

Tricky one to map with a number of debutants but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. VIVALDA (6) just missed at Northam on debut and there was plenty of merit in the effort. She will have taken fitness and learning and Chris Parham rides today. HOLLER NUFF (2) placed as favourite at Pinjarra on debut and has trialled well at Lark Hill for his return. Has the outside gate but CJP sticks aboard and he's flying. TABBA TABBA BOOM (5) led at Belmont at her latest start and is heading in the right direction. She's on a quick backup and has claims. GREAT RECEPTION (4) debuts for a leading barn and has trialled well with race rider Fiore aboard. Has the inside barrier and keep him safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vivalda with the race fitness/experience.
