Expecting Just Walter John to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. JUST WALTER JOHN (1) led them up last start at this track but couldn't hold on, finishing 0.7L off the winner. He'll find this easier again with the visors replacing the blinkers. He has enough speed to press forward and now at peak fitness, he can give them something to chase. YOU CAN CALL ME AL (5) flew home to score first-up without a trial in a strong win at Pinjarra. He should appreciate the rise in trip second-up and he carries no weight again with the claim of Martinan. Can make his presence felt again. CLASSIC RULER (12) won narrowly at Northam last start and the form out of that race has been superb. He'll need some luck from the barrier, but he'll be hard to hold out if he can run up to his latest figures. SOLO VEGA (10) flew home first-up as a 40-1 chance and looks set for a bold campaign. Drawn better this time and is worth following. CHOUX SHOE (3) can improve now with Pike on from an inside barrier. SUGGESTED PLAY: Just Walter John goes on top.
