Without a great deal of early pace evident Saulok may lead the way over Mr Mt Walker. SAULOK (3) missed out on the hat-trick last start when disappointing as the $3.40 equal favourite in a CL5 here 19 days ago. Back to 1500m is no issue and he has the speed to cross from gate 9. Happy to overlook one bad effort and he can return to winning ways. JUSTAMIDDY (2) was an impressive winner in a CL5 at this track most recently. He draws to get every chance once again and the 1.5kg claim comes in handy. Can go on with the job. KAMIKAZE FIGHTER (7) may not have run out the extra journey last time out at Narrogin but was a big winner here in Maiden grade two back. He returns to the scene of the crime now and a return to that level would see him right in the finish. FLYING SOUTH (1) should appreciate stepping up in trip now and Whiting has a positive record when riding the gelding. Can feature. MAKIN PROPHETS (9) is better than he showed last time out and is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Saulok can bounce back to winning ways.
