Solid tempo likely with Buckland, Tactics and Be My Belle prominent. CHOUX SHOE (5) started this campaign on a strong note but disappointed most recently at Northam when on the quick turnaround. Happy to overlook that performance and take her on her prior form which stacks up highly here. CJP replaces the apprentice hoop now and she looks poised to strike. AMAMUS (1) was too good on the Fibre Sand at Bunbury last start when running over the top from midfield to win comfortably. The form has already been franked and he should land in a handy spot from the gate. The wet track is an unknown, but he is trending the right way. THE LUCKY CHIP (9) just missed last start at Northam over this trip in a strong return to form. Now 28 days between runs and back onto a wet deck which looks to suit him better. Can go close again. HOLDOUT (6) hasn't been far away recently and is not to be discounted. BUCKLAND (12) is next best off an improved effort last time out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Choux Shoe.
