Plenty of pace with Spectacular Park and Hezangelic leading from Bartime. ZOUCONI (9) resumed with a solid performance late in the race behind one who has since placed in Saturday grade. Up in grade today, but the rise in trip is ideal and we haven't seen the best of her in recent starts. Pike rides again and she's got the platform to launch now. HEZANGELIC (2) is racing in good order this campaign when getting run down by a smart one last start down the Pinjarra Straight. This is an easier race and he should put himself close to the speed from the draw. Up in trip now, but he has placed at this trip previously and he can play a major role. PETITE VITESSE (5) was very impressive at the end of last campaign when mowing down her rivals in fine style. Likely to get back in the run, but can be storming home over the top. ELBOW LOUNGE (1) has trialled well coming in and has shown good speed previously. In the mix. SPECTACULAR PARK (6) is in the mix on prior form but has spent a long time off the scene. Jury out with the trials and the market will tell the tale. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zouconi can get the job done.
