Cracking tempo with Desert Whisper and Ginnivan leading the way. KAY TEE WHY (4) is third-up now and looking to bounce back after a disappointing effort most recently where he was beaten 3.6L. Pike hops on board now and he draws well once again. Can get back to his best form now and land the knockout blow third-up. THE CALABRESE (7) is dropping back in trip today and is a track and distance winner in the past. Likely to get back from the draw under Parnham, but he rates highly on his recent form. Watch for him flying late in the race. DESERT WHISPER (1) led and won first-up without a trial, scoring by 0.7L under Riordan. Her claim comes in handy once again and she should be prominent from the barrier once again. Wouldn't surprise to see her repeat the dose. GINNIVAN (2) was better at the trials recently and draws well. Can sit up front and give a bold sight. KEEP ITA MYSTERY (6) can resume on a good note without a trial with Chris Parnham on board having won 3/5 when on board. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kay Tee Why can get back to winning ways.
