This will be a keen early contest, with Powerpop, Work Home Front and Cher prominent. BLITZEM BABE (10) has been knocking on the door all campaign in Kalgoorlie and looks to have struck another suitable race here. She maps for a lovely run and Fiore replacing the apprentice is a good sign. Just needs to hold her form and she can end her winning drought. LADY CABERNET (8) disappointed at Ascot last start after a narrow defeat here two back. On the quick turnaround today, but she's racing well and maps for a nice run in transit. Can bounce back in a big ways. VILLAGE GIRL (1) resumes today and boasts a strong fresh record. She was running well on wet tracks last campaign which probably don't suit her judging by her stats. Back on top of the ground now and way back in grade, she can resume with a bang. CHER (5) got the job done here two back as favourite and has to be included. PRETTY DEVINE (3) can build on a nice win at Northam last time out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Blitzem Babe in the last.
