SWINDLE THE DOUGH (5) has been showing pace in his races, and he led for a long way at Pinjarra 11 days ago over 1400m. He has placed in his only run on this track, and is the likely leader from the pole position here. He looks to be nicely placed to take them all the way this time. HIGHLY SPOKEN (3) lost some ground when being pushed wide on the final turn at Pinjarra-Scarpside last time out over 1200m. The key here is the extra 300m, and in more suitable company, he can figure in the top 3. BULLS EYE PERFECT (1) is a durable veteran who just can't seem to break through. He has been running his usual honest races this year, and the same can be expected in this. LONG WAIT (7) has been freshened since producing a modest effort over 1500m at Pinjarra last time out. She was runner-up at Ascot before that, and a repeat of that effort, would have her in the money here. Stick with her.
