GOING: N

NEXUS MS PACE 2100m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 21)    

STAPLETON (4) scored a decisive win last time out over 1177m at Pinjarra, getting home by 14 metres in an impressive display. His last-start form is good enough to take out a race like this. SKIPPIN CLASS (3) finished second last start, beaten 40 metres at Bridgetown over 2190m. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. SPIRITOFANANGEL (9) has been thereabouts of late and is a great chance to break through. Good effort last time out when she finished fourth at Gloucester Park over 2130m. RONA MAY (8) can secure a cosy run early on and is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by 6 metres at Wagin over 2180m.
