Strong tempo assured from Machine Gun Gracie and Snipperando leading the charge. Time for the WA Oaks now where MACHINE GUN GRACIE (2) is clearly the one to beat. She's an exciting prospect on the way up and she was far too good in the Natasha Stakes. She'll roll to the front from barrier 7 and can make every post a winner once again. TWILIGHT TALE (3) was well back on straightening last start and ran to second beaten 3.4L in the Natasha. He's drawn to sit closer this time and while she'll have to improve sharply, it wouldn't completely surprise to see her turn the tables. FUNCHAL (6) was third in the Natasha when running on from a long way back. She's drawn awkwardly again, but it's Grand Final Day now and she gets a swag of gear changes. She should be about the finish. IDODOMYA (8) quickened impressively to win her maiden at Pinjarra last start and has claims at a big price. NOAHQUINTILLY (1) is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hard to go past Machine Gun Gracie in the Oaks.
