Expecting Hope To Rule to take up the running with Tallangatta and Maxwhooshtapin close at hand. ARRANGEMENT (9) looks an exciting gelding on the rise, finishing 0.3L off the winner in a CL3 last start over this course and distance. This is tougher again, but he continues to raise the bar and now Pike hops on board. May need some luck from the draw but he can go one better in this suitable race. CRUNCHY NUT (2) just missed over this track and trip last time out, beaten 0.6L. This is easier here, and ZJP's claim comes in handy. On the quick turnaround today and he can out his best foot forward once again. HOPE TO RULE (8) led and won over this trip at Pinjarra most recently to continue her good run of recent form. Can find the front again from a good barrier and Steve Parnham remains in the irons. Can repeat the dose. BLAZING EMERALD (4) draws well today and Fiore replaces the apprentice hoop. Can bounce back to her best. HEWILLDOUS (6) is better than he showed last time out and can bounce back with the drop in distance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Arrangement can continue his rise through the ranks.
