Solid tempo with Archer County leading from Stay Wealthy and Mercian Hymn. CHUCK A LUCK (6) should appreciate the rise in trip after being run off his feet last start at Carnarvon over the mile. The visors come off now and this race looks to suit a lot better. His form over this longer journey in stronger races is superb for a race like this and he can bounce back to that form today. STAY WEALTHY (1) just missed over 1800m at Roebourne a fortnight ago and steps out to this trip for the first time in his career. He has the speed to cross from out wide and in doing so, he may be able to dictate the speed from up front. Will be in this for a long way. ZADAR ROCK (2) beat home Stay Wealthy last start when jumping the race favourite and won't be hindered by the rise in distance. The inside draw should see him in a handy position and there's no reason why he can't repeat the dose. ARCHER COUNTY (3) won impressively over the mile last start and has claims out in trip. BLAZING TYCOON (5) is in the same boat and won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chuck A Luck looks the one to beat in the last.
