Solid tempo with several going forward headed by No Whispering. PEARLY NUGGETT (4) hasn't won for a long time but has put the writing on the wall her past couple, finishing just 0.5L off the winner most recently. Ready to peak now third-up and she's sure to be prominent from the outset. Sure to take plenty of catching. KHUTOS (6) has some handy form from last campaign and should be fitter for a recent trial leading into this. The inside barrier is a big tick and the fact CJP has been booked suggests he's ready to go first-up. Can return to the winners' stall. SNAZZLER (1) looked good in a recent trial at Lark Hill and the 3kg claim of Cooper comes in handy as he drops in grade. He's 2/2 at this track and he's expected to be there when the whips are cracking. THE COOLAKIN KING (10) just missed at Northam last start but that figure stacks up well despite jumping a 25-1 chance. Can be in the finish again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pearly Nuggett can get the job done.
