Expecting Our Rocky Bay to lead War Gem at just a moderate tempo. ANGEL UNDERCOVER (1) stepped up to the Mile last time out at this track when running on to be beaten 1.6L. He run two back over this track and trip was awesome in Listed company and now she draws a much better gate this time. Looks nicely placed in this and can get back to winning ways. OUR ROCKY BAY (2) couldn't bring up the hat-trick last start after sitting on the speed, finishing 0.5L away. Back to 1400m where he won his last two and Noske won aboard him three back. Should find the front again this time and be right in the finish. WESTERN POWER (8) comes into this first-up today on the back of a nice trial behind a subsequent Saturday winner. Chris Parnham sticks from the trial and 1400m first-up looks ideal. He looks open to plenty of improvement and can play a major role. PLAYING GAMES (3) is racing in good order and is on the quick turnaround with Pike in the saddle. Has to be included. SUPPORTIVE (4) is better than he showed last time out and can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Angel Undercover can return to winning ways.
