Fast tempo likely from Mt Shirataku going forward from out wide, with Looks joining in. MT SHIRATAKU (8) is a very exciting gelding on the rise, bolting in after leading last start as a $1.65 pop at Pinjarra. This is tougher, but he's a well above-average galloper and he looks to have some adaptability about him. Pike sticks and he can bring up the winning hat-trick as he continues through the grades. SIMPLY THINKIN' (5) scored a good win at Northam 10 days ago when running over the top to win comfortably as an odds-on chance. This looks to shape similarly under Azzopardi and if she can run up to her recent figures, she'll go close to winning. MORE THAN ENUFF (7) won fresh without a trial in March and backed up that effort at Ascot 87 days ago. The wide draw may pose an issue, but if he can pick up where he left off, he'll be right in the finish. RALLY THE TROOPS (9) can make it three wins in-a-row if he can run up to his recent figures. IDEALLY (13) was very impressive last start and can feature despite being back in trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mt Shirataku can go on with the job.
