Moderate tempo with Here For Cheques leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. HERE FOR CHEQUES (1) bumped into a red-hot race first-up when beaten 3.5L. Three winners have come out of that race from 4 starters, and he should appreciate the rise in trip second-up. Races well at this track and trip and improvement is expected now. The one to beat. SUPER ROMANI (2) hit the line nicely in his recent trial after a 84 day freshen. The mile may be a touch on the sharp side, but he is a winner over the trip previously and he is fresh coming into this. Parnham sticks from the trial and he won't be far away. MY FURY (3) scored a big win over the mile at Pinjarra, sitting just off the leaders and putting them to the sword. Maps for a similar run this time and he rates highly off that effort. Can repeat the dose. CELEBRITY WITNESS (6) was no match for the winner at this track and trip last time out but this is an easier race. Include. JUSTAMIDDY (8) comes through the same race and is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Here For Cheques gets the nod.
