A strong gallop is likely with Cheeky Charlotte and Lord Shiva taking up the running, closely attended by Tycoon Demon and Olivia'smemumma. HOW PRETTY (8) just missed first-up at Northam when only 0.4L off the winner. Those figures were right up to her best there and she is open to further improvement as she resumed without a trial. Pike hops in the saddle now and if she can improve as anticipated, she'll be very hard to beat. LORD SHIVA (4) disappointed as favourite last start at Northam, though he was trending the right way prior to that. He comes into this off a freshen and it wouldn't surprise to see him bounce back in a big way today. LOST GRAVITY (1) was fair on resumption when rattling home strongly at Northam as favourite. The wide alley is a bit of a niggle, but Noske has a successful record aboard and he'll be flashing home strongly. TYCOON DEMON (2) has joined a new yard following a successful start to his career. Can put his best foot forward. BUTTERFLY HOUSE (7) is racing well this time in and has strong claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on How Pretty.
