Richanco and Decoration can be prominent. DRAKAINA (14) got the job done 17 days ago when too good at Pinjarra, sitting up on the speed and winning by 0.5L. That form has already been franked and while this is tougher, she ticks plenty of boxes from the inside gate. Can sit close to the speed and will be hard to gun down again. RICHANCO (1) made it three on-end in fine style down the Pinjarra straight and now rises to 1200m. The rise in trip is no issue as he's won 3/5 there and the inside barrier is a big tick for him. Will give a bold sight again and four-in-a-row wouldn't surprise. AHYEAHRIGHTO (10) missed last start as favourite behind Drakaina following some strong figures in his runs prior. The wide draw is a little niggle but he's racing in top order and his last start SP is worth noting. Has to be included. SUNNY HONEY (12) just missed last start and has claims third-up and on the quick back-up. KEEP ITA MYSTERY (6) was right there with Drakaina last start and is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Drakaina in the last.
