Richanco and Prospector's Pick should set a strong gallop. PROSPECTOR'S PICK (7) gobbled up his rivals fresh with an easy victory 28 days ago and looks a nice horse on the rise. He remains at 1000m, but draws nicely for Pike and the form out of his last start has been red hot. Can go to another level now and make it two in a row. RICHANCO (2) led and won first-up over this trip at Ascot, scoring by 1.3L in good style. He rises in weight, but he too has plenty of upside and can continue to work through the grades. Likely to be prominent in the run and can go on with the job. KEEP ITA MYSTERY (1) closed off nicely behind Richanco last start to be 1.3L off him at the finish, and meets him better at the weights this time after the claim of Gaerth. Nicely placed and can turn the tables. ANOTHER STRIKE (5) comes into this fresh but trialled nicely at Lark Hill. Can feature. SEBONACK (4) makes his WA debut today and won't be far away if he can run to his NSW form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prospector's Pick can go back-to-back.
