Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a keen tempo. COUNTRY GOD (1) landed midfield first-up at Pinjarra and was too good, winning by 0.5L as the favourite. He turned in a good figure there and he's expected to have come on from that performance. May need some luck from the barrier, but he has good upside and he can repeat the dose. RIVA AQUARAMA (3) settled back in the field before launching a strong attack late, scoring by a head in this grade on debut. The wide draw may see her back in the run yet again, but the slight rise in trip looks fine and she can go on with the job. BRAZEN BUTCHER (2) won two back before being tested in the Karrakatta before a spell. He looks to have come back in good order judging by his recent trial and the inside draw is a big tick. Will take some catching. FREE TO FLY (11) showed positive signs in her latest trial coming into this and can play a role. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Country God.
