Dug Another Hole, Universal Hotness and Pretty Devine will be ridden positively out of their low gates so the pace will be genuine. HYMNS OF ELADDAIR (3) finished on strongly to finish fourth last time out over 1200m at this track. He is much better over 1400m, and William Pike sticks with him. Hard to beat again. DUG ANOTHER HOLE (1) showed good pace and led all the way last time out over 1500m at this track. He has the right draw and can take them all the way again. Stick with him. MISS WALL STREET (12) is a consistent mare with three minor placings from three starts this prep, and was third over 1600m at Pinjarra Scarpside last start. She has 3kg less to carry, and has to be respected. PRINCESS IN RED (8) was a game fourth in a 1400m contest at this track a week-and-a-half ago. She is holding her form and only needs the right run to figure in the top 3 this time. Include in all combinations. KIRALUI (5) did herself no favours last start by racing too keenly in the run, weakening late to finish seventh. If she can switch off early on this time, then she can bounce back into the money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hymns Of Eladdair each-way.
