Solid tempo headed by Hope To Rule and Rommel's Goddess. MANGIFERA (8) comes back to Saturday grade today where she has performed well in the past. She was just edged out last time at Pinjarra in a CL5 over the mile and she rates highly on the back of that effort. Needs a touch of luck from the draw but her form says she's good enough. PRECIOUS GOD (7) flew home to score over 1500m at Pinjarra last time out to steal the win in a photo finish. She draws well again today with the rise up to 1600m no issue on what we've seen this time in. Scratched at the barriers late last month but she looks to be trending the right way. THE SPRUIKER (9) missed by 0.2L last time out when sitting close to the speed at this track and trip. He ticks a few boxes today and his recent form stacks up. Include. ROMMEL'S GODDESS (3) rises up to the mile today and should get every chance off the inside. HARLEQUIN PRANCER (5) ran up to her form here last start and has to be included up in trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mangifera goes on top.
