GOING: S(6)

PKF PERTH PLATE 1100m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: +5m Entire. (Pent: 6.50)  

Blow Me Kisses might not get things her own way up front with a few first starters engaged. CAPITOLA (1) has yet to fire in 3 starts since resuming from a spell and will be sliding down from Stakes class. He has won a Belmont trial by 6 lengths since his last run here 3 weeks ago, and if he runs up to that form, then he can bounce back into winning form here. NOW YOU SEE ME (4) resumed with a big run for third at long odds here 15 days ago. He will be better for the run and is capable of another bold effort, but don't expect another fancy price. DON'T WINK (7) finished fourth on debut in the G3 Gimcrack Stakes here 3 weeks ago. She will improve naturally second-up, and in an easier contest, she can figure in the top 3 this time. Include in all combinations. DIAMOND WARRIOR (2) won a trial before producing a big run to finish fifth in the Perth Stakes 3 weeks ago over this trip. He is bred to improve with racing, and is another promising type, with each-way claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Capitola to win.
