Strong tempo assured from King Adviso and Blazing Emerald leading the charge. WANT A WINNER (8) bounced back with an impressive 1L victory here 28 days ago and continues to build on his winning record. He maps to get every chance again and while this is tougher, he continues to raise the bar. Still looks to have upside and can continue to rise through the grades. SHMOOV MOOVA (9) trialled well coming in but disappointed first-up at Pinjarra when the rider stated he may not have handled the track. Given some time to get over that effort and he is a second-up winner previously. Should be prominent in the run and can bounce back to his best. KING ADVISO (11) made it back-to-back wins last start in good fashion at Pinjarra and turned in a strong rating in doing so. Will need some luck to cross from the draw, but his form's hard to knock. SUPERSESSION (1) is another speedy customer engaged who just missed out at Pinjarra 21 days ago. Can't be discounted. SONOFTHEBOSS (7) is better than he showed first-up and this looks to shape much nicer for him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Want A Winner can score in the last.
