Expecting Angel's My Name to bounce to the lead from a low draw. SNIPPY SEAN (7) just missed last start at Bunbury when favourite but the winner there looks no slouch. Now gets the blinkers on for the first time and Chris Parnham remains in the saddle. May be back in the run, from a wide alley, but can appreciate the rise in trip and get back to winning ways. BORDER FORCE (3) hasn't won for a long time though is knocking on the door. He was good last start as favourite in Saturday grade and should get a lovely run in transit. Form has held up out of that race and he ticks plenty of boxes. AUDIO BOY (1) just missed from the back in a small field at Northam and should appreciate this set up today. CJP remains in the saddle and while the draw may be a little sticky, he has improvement to come and won't be far away. LORD RANDOLPH (11) is ticking along nicely and has to be included. ANGEL'S MY NAME (9) can find the front and be in this for a very long way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Snippy Sean.
