Repeater, Famous Jurney and Mavis Myrtle all possess good speed. SNOW GOD (7) is racing in good order, he's just bumped into a few smart ones this campaign. There doesn't appear to be anything of that ilk in this event however and he can continue to work through the grades. Back in class now, but figures say better races are on the horizon and he can get the job done. REPEATER (2) got the job done to make it a hat-trick last start when dictating from the front on a day where you needed to be close to the speed at Pinjarra. Suspect he can lead the field once again and with his sprint speed, he'll take catching if he gets it all his own way. GOLD MAKER (8) jumped favourite last start and only just missed when running on from midfield. This is tougher, but he's ticking along nicely and should get his chance from a good gate. DIAMOND DANCER (5) was very impressive last start when winning as favourite. Back in trip is a slight niggle, but he's shown he's good enough. TALKAWAY (9) is better than she showed last start and can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Snow God.
