Silver Livia, Hit The Jackpot and Ginger Morpheus to match motors but there will be other pressure. GINGER MORPHEUS (4) was pipped late first-up but the added fitness proved the difference with a good win here last time out. Up in grade today, but he's always hinted that he would make the grade. Maps for a lovely run, his form has already been franked and he can win again. COONDLE (3) disappointed two back before a better effort last start over 1300m at this track. Blinkers go back on today as he drops back in trip this time around. Has the speed to cross from the draw and can make an impression. SILVER LIVIA (8) lived up to the trials with an impressive all-the-way win on debut, scoring by 1.1L at Northam. This is obviously tougher, but she looks to have a touch of class about her and she'll be hard to catch with no weight on her back. HIT THE JACKPOT (1) won well first-up here 17 days ago and can repeat the dose without surprising. SCENIC GEORGE (6) is better than he's shown his past couple and can bounce back to his best form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ginger Morpheus can win again.
