Expecting a strong gallop with Star Martini and Wiluna Lass taking up the running over Dip It In A Dream. WILUNA LASS (4) is back at the races for the first time since April 26. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1000m at this track. Contested tougher races than this last prep and draws to advantage. JOYOH (3) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race when resuming from a spell last time out over 1000m at this track, finishing second and beaten a nose. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. STAR MARTINI (7) saluted at Northam two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when in the firing line on the turn before finishing second over 1000m at this track, beaten 3/4 of a length. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. DIP IT IN A DREAM (5) got his career off to the perfect start, which he'll only be better for, so don't discount. ESPINHO (2) last appeared on April 22 when a good sixth over 1000m at Ascot, beaten 2.5 lengths, and he has won fresh in the past. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wiluna Lass to win.

JIM P TAYLOR 3YO BAY FILLY 56.0KG Mrs T Taylor, Ms B J Taylor, Miss E J F Clauson, Ms J B Rose, Mrs C M Quartermaine, Ms M A Clarke, Mrs K Ryan, Mrs J Holmes & Ms D Verboon Recent form sound.
