Strong tempo with Big Karri and Fearless Talk leading from Tycoon Dreamer and Zippy Zany. TYCOON DREAMER (8) led them up over this track and trip on resumption, jumping the fav and winning by 0.9L. She should be better again for that effort and she can take up the running once again from a good draw. Parnham remains in the saddle and she can bring up back-to-back wins. DON'T WINK (6) was trending the right way before tackling the Magic Millions 3YO at Pinjarra last time out. Back in grade here looks to suit and a return to her prior form would see her right in the finish. ZIPPY ZANY (3) dipped at the end of last campaign but looks ready to fire on resumption. Her recent trial was good and Pike hops in the saddle for her return. Blinkers are reapplied and she can return on a positive note. MISS VALMALENCO (5) just missed last time out and has to be included with further improvement third-up. EXCELINDEED (2) is better than he showed last time out and can improve with a better draw this time around. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tycoon Dreamer can get the job done once again.
