Expecting Maximum Impact to bounce to the front and lead from the low draw. NOBILDONNA (7) sat midfield over 1487m here last start and was too good, getting over the top to win by 0.2L. She draws better today and the rise in trip looks ideal. Can put herself in a good position with Staples sticking and bring up back-to-back wins. MAXIMUM IMPACT (6) disappointed last start at Pinjarra after being in good order prior to that. He's been freshened and steps out to the mile today with Catarino claims 2kg. Should find the front and if he's able to dictate, he'll be hard to run down. I'M ON (3) was only 2.4L off the winner here last start and looks ready for the rise to the mile now. She's likely to get back from the wide alley, but her best figures stack up and if the pace is on, she'll be flashing late. WHAITIRI (5) ended his winless run with a 1L victory last start as favourite and he can go on with the job. A LOT OF CLASS (2) can feature fresh off a 75-day break. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nobildonna goes on top.
