Plenty of pace with Niccimota and This'll Show Ya up front, pressured by Prince Amongst Men and Uukhai. NICCIMOTA (6) was too speedy down the Pinjarra straight last start, leading all the way to score by 1.9L after being heavily backed. Third-up into the campaign now she should be at peak fitness and the claim of Cooper comes in handy. Nicely weighted and will be hard to gun down. GO GO GROMMET (2) rises in grade today following a 0.6L defeat behind a good one at this track and trip last week. He'll need a touch of luck from the gate, but ZJP sticks with the 3kg claim. Racing in good order and can make his presence felt. UUKHAI (3) resumes without a trial, though his form from last campaign makes for good reading. Most likely to be better over further, but he should get his chance to win from the inside draw. THIS'LL SHOW YA (4) hasn't been far away in recent efforts, including in tougher grade last start. Has to be included. GOLD VANCOUVER (5) is better than she showed last time out and can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Niccimota.
