OREGON HIKER (5) just missed over this trip at Northam last time out, beaten in a photo finish in a good return to form. That effort stacks up highly in this field and CJP remains in the saddle today. Needs a touch of luck from the draw, but he'll take beating if the breaks come. KINGS HONOUR (3) was only fair in a strong race at Ascot last time out and looks better placed in this race today. He drops right back in grade third-up and Noske has a winning record aboard the gelding. Drawn nicely and will be very hard to run down. RULER ROCKET (1) was just fair first-up but boasts a strong second-up record. He's a track and trip winner and if he can improve as anticipated, he'll go very close to winning. ORACLE SON (4) comes into this off a freshen as he makes his way to the West from Victoria. Has claims if he can hold his form for the new stable. WEDNESDAY (6) is better than she showed last time out and can bounce back.
