Genuine tempo from De Lovely Lad leading Jackemjames. ROCKIN' THE SILKS (6) has not lived up to his earlier promise and has changed stables again. He resumes from a spell over a trip short of his best but will enjoy the easier company in the country. He has a good draw and should be the one to beat. DEEP POINT (3) had a 3-start Esperance campaign earlier in the season and did not really fire. He is fresh up here with the advantage of the pole position and can figure in the finish if he puts his best hoof forward. PRINSESSA ANJA (2) broke through for an overdue maiden win at Geraldton 2 weeks ago and this company will hold no fears for her. Go again now that the penny has dropped. ARCHER COUNTY (1) is another to have switched stables since last racing and he too will find the racing easier on this circuit. It is hard to get a line on him and the markets will be your best guide. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rockin' The Silks to win.
