Spanish Armada should spear straight to the front of the small field.
JUNIPER (6) made light work of the heavy ground when cruising home to win on debut at Northam over 1000m where the only surprise was the price she paid. The extra 200m is no problem, and even on a firmer surface, she can take the next step immediately. VIENNA CALLING (2) backed up her maiden win at Pinjarra-Scarpside with a fourth last time out on this track a fortnight ago. Holly Nottle will take 1.5kg off her back, and she should be hard to hold out in a small field. ARTIE'S STORM (5) set the pace and folded up quickly in a stronger class here 3 weeks ago over 1400m. Having 200m less to travel this time will suit her, and she is worth another chance. SPANISH ARMADA (1) set the pace and folded up in the run to the line here 18 days ago, when following on from an easy Northam win before that. Stick with him. CAWARRA (3) has been racing consistently since winning at Kalgoorlie in June. This field is not that tough, and there will be plenty of early pace. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Juniper can win again.
