SHIRE OF KELLERBERRIN CENTRAL WHEATBELT CUP MS PACE 2130m

Track: GOOD      

POCKETFUL OF OPALS (2) recorded a strong performance last start when she battled on bravely to just miss out over 2180m at Wagin. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position, and she is the one to beat here. ALEXANDRA THEGREAT (4) added to the impressive sequence of wins last start when she scored by a nose over 2190m at Northam. Meets some better types this time, but another win is not out of the question. KOOLBARDI NAVAJO (9) didn't do a bad job when fourth over 2130m at Gloucester Park last time out. Stick with him on an each-way basis. BETTOR HAVE FAITH (5) is worth some thought after her last-start fourth over 2190m at Northam on May 31.
