A strong gallop is likely with Kerman Rock and Savage One taking up the running, closely attended by Success Play and Cool Memory. SUPERNATURAL (10) settled worse than midfield but rounded up her rivals with ease, bolting in by 2.1L a fortnight ago. She jumped favourite there and the better barrier today can see her sit slightly closer. Tougher here, but she continues to improve and is well placed to repeat the dose. SUNNY HONEY (5) sat close to the speed and just couldn't fend off the winner, beaten 0.5L in Heavy going at Bunbury. Up in trip now looks to suit and the inside draw can see him in a prominent position. Can get back to his best and that'll see him go close to winning. COOL MEMORY (3) won well fresh before a 1.7L at Pinjarra last time out. This is easier today and he boasts a strong third-up record. Ready to peak now and will give a bold sight. HELL I AM (2) steps out in trip today and with improvement expected, he can be in the finish. SUCCESS PLAY (9) is better than he showed first-up and can improve sharply. SUGGESTED PLAY: Supernatural can win again.
