Moderate tempo with My Huckleberry leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. WONDERFULLY MADE (13) showed good ability in her 2YO campaign when jumping a $10 chance in the Gimcrack before the spell. Her recent trial suggested she was on song, and we'll get a good line on that form in race 2. May need some luck from the draw, but she shouldn't be a maiden for too much longer. PROFOUND BENEFIT (1) just missed over this track and trip 21 days ago and the form out of that race worked out well. Pike remains in the saddle from his latest effort and that performance rates highly in this field. Can go one better this time. QUIET GODDESS (10) disappointed on debut at Pinjarra, though her trials either side of that run suggested she has good ability. She jumped favourite there and her trials this time in have been just as good. Can make a statement first-up. BUON AMICI (4) is some niggle off his recent trial, though his form last campaign stacks up. Keep safe. MY HUCKLEBERRY (8) can improve third-up and slightly up in trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wonderfully Made can notch up his maiden victory.
