LARKHILL VETS YOUR EQUINE SPECIALISTS MS PACE 2536m

Track: GOOD      

MY WATCHLIST (9) progressed off a resuming second for a dominant win here last time, getting home by close to 9m. That was his fourth win from five tries here and while he draws out he could be bound for better things. STAR CASINO (6) was good enough to come from a 50m handicap and race parked before scoring as a hot favourite last time at Pinjarra. He could go on with it with the confidence high now. DARK EYES (3) should be ready to peak now after finishing fourth at this venue a week ago. Draws to play a role again. THELITTLE MASTER (4) is better than his last-start seventh having come from wider to finish second here last month.
