Impressive Jewel has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. IMPRESSIVE JEWEL (4) led all the way to score at Pinjarra just over 2 weeks ago and was beaten in Stakes company here before that. She is down in weight, up in confidence and can win again. TOUSLED CROWN (6) let down strongly to score over a mile at Pinjarra in lesser company on the same day as the top pick and will be hoping for another genuine pace to be set in this race as well. Look for her late. Each way. GINGERQUEST (10) has raced his way into form in the country at Albany, and though up in class here, he will have the services of William Pike, which is a strong lead. Stick with him. Each way value. CLASSIC IMPACT (9) had an excuse last time out and is worth another chance on a relatively quick 9-day back up. Include in all combinations. LOVA SESSION (3) will find this easier than her last couple of starts and is not the worst at odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gingerquest each-way.
