Expecting a moderate pace headed by Mystery Minute and Space Ace. ALMA MATER (5) disappointed out to the mile last time out and can bounce back to form off a freshen. The inside draw suits and he'll appreciate the easier race here today. Can bounce back to winning ways. SWEXAN (3) flew home from the back of the pack to just miss first-up and is a second-up winner in the past. He remains at the sprint trip after stepping up in distance last campaign. Watch for him late in the race. TASSORT WE WANT (2) last appeared two months ago over 1600m at Ascot when he finished fifth. This is his first run for the Brett Pope stable. Can make his presence felt. KIMBERLEY CURRENCY (6) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1300m at Northam, beaten 7 lengths into fifth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance. ONLY US (11) can be in the finish first-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Alma Mater can get the job done.
