Insufficient early speed to generate more than a muddling tempo. SWIFT TALKER (9) won a recent trial and showed plenty of ability in his debut campaign. Fiore hops on board for his return despite not being on board for his trial. He looks a nice horse on the way up and he should be in a handy position from the barrier. Can return on a winning note. HISTORY WON'T CARE (3) ended up a long way back first-up at Bunbury but closed off impressively. Out in trip suits and the form out of his fresh run has worked out well. Pike remains in the saddle and he'll take plenty of beating. PRODUCTIVE (5) landed midfield and stuck on well at Pinjarra in a good race over 1200m fresh. Fitter for that effort and this looks to shape nicely for him from a good draw. Can improve with that run under her belt and won't be far away. ZORBRIST (7) hasn't been far away in recent efforts and can feature with a better barrier this time around. TOO MUCH TALK (1) is not to be discounted coming back in grade. SUGGESTED PLAY: Swift Talker can return on a winning note.
