Expecting Great Fortune to bounce to the front and lead from the low draw. ARCADIA KNIGHT (7) won impressively first-up before never getting into the race last start at Pinjarra. He'll be fitter again however and while he's expected to get out over a trip, third-up at the mile looks a nice recipe. CJP hops on board now and a return to his best would see him hard to beat. FAMOUS DAIN (2) looks the main danger on the back of a strong performance when dropping in trip last time out. Pike now takes he ride and the inside barrier is a big tick as he like to settle on the speed. That holds him in good stead with Arcadia Knight likely to be miles back on the turn. He'll be hard to catch. MORE THAN ENUFF (13) is racing in good order, coming through the same race as Famous Dain most recently. He drops in weight with this being a tougher race, but his figures are up to the mark and he can feature in the finish. STYLISH LORD (4) has claims as he steps back up to his preferred distance, while ODINAKA (10) is worth including following a strong win last start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Arcadia Knight on top.

First-up after four months got back early 10th of 14 at Pinjarra Rtg 72+ on July 5 over 1600m, slow going 5 len behind Lord Gannicus with 58kg at $101. Previously second-up won by a neck at Ascot Rtg 66+ December 7 over 2200m defeating Roch Legacy carrying 58.5kg at $4. Can't see him figuring in the finish. |

FAMOUS DAIN
DANIEL & BEN PEARCE 4YO BAY GELDING 57.0KG Oakland Park Stud (Mgr: N G Duncan), Mrs D L Pearce, T Geddes, A P Rocchiccioli, D Boxtel, J Maas, Mrs J C Maas, Sangalli Bros (Mgr: A P Sangalli), A P Alsop & T J Criddle At the latest run crossed from a wide gate to settle just off the pace but gave ground when 2nd of 12 at Bunbury Grad Hcp 60+ on July 12 over 1690m, on a wet track; head behind Lano with 60kg at $7. The race before that didn't do much in the run home; 7th of 9 at Pinjarra Rtg 66+ on June 21 over 2000m, in the wet; 6 len behind First Encounter carrying 57kg at $7. Tougher here but looks poised to strike with a lovely set up. |

ARCADIA KNIGHT
MICHAEL GRANTHAM 4YO BROWN GELDING 56.0KG Peters Investments Pty Ltd (Mgr: R J Peters) Third-up today and placed third-up previously.
