Love Drunk Baby, High Pressure and Playthatfunkymusic will set a good tempo despite the small field. PLAYTHATFUNKYMUSIC (1) has had a couple of starts back from a spell in tougher company and is ideally placed in this after a 4kg claim. He generally improves with racing and has won 6 of his 8 starts here on his home track, including 3 of them over the trip. On top. LOVE DRUNK BABY (5) will be the main threat to his stablemate and top pick after scoring an impressive all the way win here nearly a fortnight ago. He carries the same weight, and from a good draw, he could be hard to peg back again. HIGH PRESSURE (4) is a handy gelding who has not been overtaxed with racing for a 6-year-old gelding. He comes to hand quickly and has the visors back on for her return. Kyra Yuill steps into the irons, and the pair merits healthy respect. MUNGO JERRY (3) had an excuse for a modest effort at Esperance 4 weeks ago over 1300m. He has not missed a cheque in 5 starts over this trip on the track, including 2 wins, and he can bounce back into the money here. KICK A GOAL SON (2) include in all bets. SUGGESTED PLAY: Playthatfunkymusic to win.
