Plenty of pace with Savage One and God's Gate leading from Cool Memory. SOLDANELLE (7) flew home and just missed first-up here 28 days ago. His record at this track is a niggle, but he loves this trip and has plenty of figures from last campaign good enough to win this. He'll be fitter now and he can storm over the top to claim the win this time. TWILIGHT TALE (11) is an exciting mare on return after being placed in Oaks lead-ups last campaign, and that was all her first time in work. Expecting a more mature galloper now and her trial this time in was very solid. She fired first-up last campaign and it wouldn't surprise to see her do it again. TERRATIF (8) got a long way back last start at Pinjarra but flew home to just miss. Drawn inside again but will be in the second half of the field and if the breaks come for Cooper, she'll be flying late. COOL MEMORY (1) comes back in trip today and an improved performance is on the cards. MANHATTAN STRIP (6) has to be included off a good win at Northam last start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Soldanelle can land the knockout blow this time.
