Acta Non Verba and Cosmic Gem possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. COSMIC GEM (2) turned in a modest performance when ninth last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Beautifully placed and is sure to bounce back to form. MUST BE NICE (5) was prominent at the turn but turned in a mediocre run last time out over 2100m at this track after a nice win the start prior. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. STREAMLINED (7) closed last prep six months ago when he finished eighth over 1500m at Ascot. Is lightly raced and looks forward enough after a solid recent trial. Nicely placed and expected to go well. ACTA NON VERBA (4) brought some handy form over from Victoria and while he hasn't shown it in two runs in WA, he might be ready for a peak performance third-up. CLASSIC RULER (9) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish eighth over 1400m. Draws the pole here and gets in well after the 3kg claim, so can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cosmic Gem to win.
