Expecting Hello Veneta to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. ROSIE CAN RUN (4) resumed in good order at Pinjarra where she flew late from the wide draw to miss by 0.3L. She hasn't won for a while, but the fresh run suggested she was back on song and Whiting remains on board. The longer trip now is a big tick and she can return to winning ways. PHAT CHAPS (1) hasn't been far away in his return efforts and looks primed to go to a new level now out to the mile for the first time. Holly Watson sticks and the inside draw should see him prominent from the outset. Has plenty of upside and can reach new heights now. GLOBAL TRIP (3) was run down last start over 1800m when ending up 1.9L off the winner, but he now gets a drop in trip and Nottle on board. The claim comes in handy and he should be tough to reel in late in the race. ACROSS GENERATIONS (8) can improve third-up out in trip. HELLO VENETA (7) won't be far away out to this trip for the first time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rosie Can Run gets the nod.
