Pearly Nuggett and Khalida to take it up.
KHALIDA (4) has needed both of her starts back from a spell at Esperance. She has won 2 of her 3 starts third up in the past and has also won twice on this track. She drops 5kg from her last run and is ready to show her best form again. On top. MUNGO JERRY (1) is a locally trained gelding who saw his form taper off at Esperance this year after making a positive start to his prep. He has a terrific record on this circuit, and he can bounce back into the money here. LOVE DRUNK BABY (5) is a handy type who saves his best for his home track. He comes to hand quickly and with the advantage of the pole position, he can make his presence felt. Don't risk him. WESTERNIZE (2) has won 2 of his 5 starts on this track and was running on late at Esperance last time out after missing the kick early on. With an even beginning, he won't be far away. Include in all multiples. PEARLY NUGGETT (3) raced to keenly last start and raced greenly under pressure. She is better than that, so stick with her. SUGGESTED PLAY: Khalida each way.
