RACE 1 - MORGS FREEMAN (1) sat back and rattled home to just miss over 1100m here last time out and that holds him in good stead as he steps out to this trip. He was a comfortable winner here just four starts back and he now gets Chris Parnham in the saddle. Looks ready to return to the winners stall. PRINCE RAGNAR (3) was 50-1 at Ascot last time out and ran below his best, beaten 3.7L. A lot of his form is over the shorter course, but he maps for an easy run and Cooper taking 3kg off helps. Can find the front and take plenty of catching. STAR IN TIME (6) gets the visors on first time after a narrow defeat over 1500m last time out. Back to this trip is no issue having performed well here previously. Drawn to get every chance and is sure to put her best foot forward. LONG KNIFE BROTHER (5) can mix his form but he was very close here just two starts back. Include. SIR SNUGALOT (2) will benefit from the first-up effort and can improve.

RACE 2 - FLICK THE SWITCH (6) should be hitting peak fitness now third-up after feeling the pinch late in the race last time out. Faithfull replaces the apprentice hoop this time around and she has the pace to cross from the draw. Still improving and gets her chance to shed the maiden tag now. SCHNOOTS (3) was no match for a subsequent winner at Narrogin last time out, finishing 2.7L off the winner. She's had plenty of goes now, but the first-up form suggests she's in the mix. Nicely drawn and can make her presence felt. MOVING ON (1) is another who has been to the well a number of times, but rates well in this suitable event. He ran on well to just miss here last start and the extra 100m isn't an issue. Won't be far away. PENALTY FREE (2) is on debut on his home track and the fact that Chris Parnham takes the ride is an encouraging sign. Can make a statement on debut. ROSENTREA (7) draws the inside and should be fitter for the first-up effort. Include.

RACE 3 - DEMITO (3) is looking for the hat-trick after an impressive 1.2L victory at Narrogin last time out. She's in great form at the moment and was a strong winner at this track and trip two starts back. Should be prominent from the draw again and take plenty of catching. ROMERO (6) had been ticking along nicely down the Pinjarra straight before a disappointing effort most recently. His record at the trip is a niggle, but his figures from recent starts stack up nicely. Can bounce back and be in the finish. BLUE LINE (1) is better than he showed last time out and getting back to this trip may hold the key. Chris Parnhan hops in the saddle which is a positive sign and this is a much easier race than what he contested last start. Won't be far away. BITOVEMU (5) finished behind Demito better at the weights this time and has claims from a nice alley. DYNAMITE BAY (2) can bounce back dropping back to this distance.

RACE 4 - SIR BEAR A LOT (5) bumped into a smart one over the mile here last time out after going under as a heavy favourite two back. He's knocking on the door of a maiden victory and he looks to have struck a suitable race this time. Can go one better and shed the maiden tag. DENALI GIRL (9) was just outclassed at Ascot last time out and looks better suited getting back to a race like this. She's been big odds through much of her career thus far but this looks an ideal race and she can be thereabouts at the finish. KAMAKAZI SHOOTER (6) is better than what he showed over the mile last time out, being just 0.4L away over this course and distance two back. Can bounce back and make his presence felt. MAYBE DIVINE (8) steps out to this trip for the first time. Her breeding suggests it should suit and she's not to be discounted. THE MIGHTY BUTCH (1) gets out to this trip now which is ideal and he won't be far away.

RACE 5 - FLYING SOUTH (2) may have been outclassed when in Open company at Ascot last time out but was solid over this track and trip prior. Racing well without winning and he has plenty of scope for improvement. Maps well and can get bounce back to winning ways. GOOD SONG (3) led all the way to break his maiden last time out, winning at this track and trip by 0.3L. It took him a while to get there, but he rates well off his latest run and he should take plenty of catching from out in front. JUST FOR MARCUS (7) wasn't far away at Narrogin last time out, beaten 1.3L and he drops in weight on this occasion, Both the stable and the jockey are going well at the moment and he rates the testing material. OUR GIRL BORAM (6) steps out in trip which is a little niggle, but she'll carry no weight and be up front for a long way. HEEZA BEAU (4) is set to peak now third-up and he won't be far away.

RACE 6 - Always a tricky race to assess the Jericho Qualifiers, but FIOREYES (3) goes on top. Suspect he's been targeted toward this coming in third-up off a short break. Winkers go on now, as does Chris Parnham and he looks a genuine stayer. Should be prominent in the run and take plenty of catching. CHUCK A LUCK (8) is rock-hard fit and comes through the Geraldton Cup over 2100m last time out. He stuck on well in the Great Southern Cup here prior to that and he looks as though he'll stay until last drinks. Recent form puts him right in the finish. DEADLY AND FAST (6) just missed over 2100m here last time out and gets a near side blinker on for the first time. Kyra Yuill has had plenty of success when partnering previously and he should be in the finish if he runs up to recent efforts. SLUICE BOX (2) stayed on well at Geraldton last start and that should hold him in good stead. Winning hope. ODDONEOUT (5) stuck on well to win over 2100m last start and has claims off the inside.

RACE 7 - NEVER SOBER (1) may have found the extra journey a bridge too far after a good win at Ascot two starts ago. He has the pace to offset the wide alley and while he is up in weights, he does drop substantially in class. The one to beat on recent form. BEAUTIFUL BAROQUE (6) just missed here 17 days ago over 1940m and was a dominant winner of a Cl2 at this track back on March 31. She's a solid mare at this level and she looks well placed at the weights. Can storm over the top of them again as she did two starts ago. DIVINE MERCY (3) found a couple better over 2100m last time out and drops right back to the mile now. Chris Parnham riding is a positive sign and his recent figures suggest he should be right in the finish. YES OF COURSE (9) has had troubles with this trip in the past, but he's in solid form and can make every post a winner. BENTLEY BEAU (2) will appreciate the drop in grade and can improve.
