Just a modest tempo anticipated. MARINSKY BALLET (4) rocketed home from the back last start to be just 0.6L off the winner at Pinjarra on June 6th in a strong effort. She beat a bunch of the same horses she meets today and she draws nicely once again. Can go a couple better this time in an open event. HIS EMINENCE (5) is better than what he showed last start when finishing behind Marinsky Ballet at Pinjarra, beaten 5.5L. It's been a while between drinks, but the gelding is ticking along nicely of late and his last two starting prices show that. Can put his best foot forward. DASH OF BRANDY (3) has been good without winning this campaign and sustained a long effort to just miss out on the victory at Pinjarra last time out. The wide draw may see her a long way back, but if the pace is on she'll be coming home with a head full of steam. GOD'S GARDEN (6) hasn't been far away in her past few outings and is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Marinsky Ballet can get the job done.
