Kermit's Luck and Henry Has Spoken to take up the running at a strong tempo. IMA WILD GIRL (5) boasts a strong third-up record and can improve off a 1.4L defeat at Geraldton last time out. William Pike now hops in the saddle and getting out in trip should help her chances. Can bounce back into the winners stall in this suitable assignment. CHERRY'S A STAR (3) was good here 13 days ago when beaten 1.6L at this trip. She's a third-up winner in the past and whilst she is drawn a little sticky, she's likely to get back anyway. Chris Parnham rides now and she'll give the top pick something to think about. CRIMMO (1) rattled home from a long way back last time out and can sit much closer in the run today. Went around favourite in a harder race two starts ago, Going well without winning but looks to have found a good race for him today. KERMIT'S LUCK (2) was just okay first-up and should appreciate this easier company. Likely improver. HENRY HAS SPOKEN (4) can take up the running and prove tough to catch. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ima Wild Girl gets the nod.
