Genuine pace with Boab Boy taking up the running ahead of Village Girl and Private Sapling. VILLAGE GIRL (6) stuck on well behind the smart Oxbridge last time out and rates highly on the back of that performance. Winkers replace the blinkers today and out to 1200m again looks perfect. Ready to explode now. ZING TO WIN (1) will appreciate the claim of Cheung after finishing 1L off the winner at Geraldton last time out. Should be able to lob in a handy position from the draw and another forward showing is expected. STORM COMMANDER (5) just missed off a freshen last start at Albany, coming through that same Oxbridge race as Village Girl. That form looks strong for this event and if he can handle the rise to 1200m today, he'll be hard to hold out. PLAY DICE (8) may be able to sit a touch closer today from an inside draw and is not to be discounted. BOAB BOY (2) can be in the finish first-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Village Girl gets the nod in the last.
