Speed assured from Famous Dream, Three Grand and Mighty Hosanna pressing on ahead of Rommel's Jeuney. FAMOUS DREAM (5) will be making her track debut and was a solid fourth last time over 1200m at Pinjarra. She did not have all the favours that day and is again nicely placed after a 3kg claim. Stick with her. AYUMI (3) ran a bold race over this journey when resuming last start, racing on the pace and fighting on to finish a game third at Pinjarra. She strips fitter and from a good draw, with a 3kg claim, she will go close to taking this out. MIGHTY HOSANNA (7) raced too keenly mid-race here last time over 1200m until tiring late and finishing sixth. She will find this easier and can bounce back into the money. CLOSE TALKER (2) made some progress last year and will be a lot stronger this year. William Pike is a positive jockey booking, and a big run would be no surprise. ROMMING DANGER (1) resumes from a spell and does come to hand quickly. The blinkers are on for the first time, and she is a must for all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Close Talker each-way.
