Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Maureen's Angel. COMMON TOUCH (1) returns and while he's found the maiden win elusive, it certainly hasn't been without trying and the form around him stacks right up. Strips fitter for a trial win in readiness and is drawn favourably for Fiore. Bold showing anticipated. MAUREEN'S ANGEL (8) was prominent from the outset on debut last start and held on well for second, beaten half a length, over this trip at Pinjarra. With natural improvement anticipated and from the gun draw, she gets a great chance to break through. WHITE HOT (6) returned last time and picked up nicely in the lane, only to just miss by a long neck over the 1000m Belmont Park. Strips fitter second-up and is one of the big hopes. MIND FIELD (3) raced once in the maiden preparation when sixth at this track over 1200m back on January 11. Has trialled well in readiness and gets the key booking of Pike. Have to take seriously. SUGGESTED PLAY: Common Touch gets the nod.
