Strong tempo primarily from Dandy's Gem, Monty Zoomer and Estimator over Allegro Sonata and Almaya. DANDY'S GEM (6) is racing in top order, bouncing back last time out to go under in a photo finish at Pinjarra when the race favourite. Fiore replaces the apprentice hoop today and while she's drawn wide, she has the speed to work across from the deep. Will handle the rise in trip and be tough to mow down. NEAP TIDE (2) made it back-to-back wins 27 days ago with Pike in the saddle and has been back to the trials since that effort at Bunbury to keep him ticking over. The wide draw is a niggle, though Pike remains in the saddle and he's a winner over this trip previously. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks the main danger. VANCOUVER STORM (15) draws a much better gate today and should be able to sit much closer than he did last time out when staying on strongly late. Rates highly on that effort and he's sure to be in the finish once again. ALMAYA (8) can bounce back to form following a disappointing run last time out. MONTY ZOOMER (10) won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dandy's Gem can go one better in the last.
