Blevvo – didn’t fire last preparation, but showing better form this time around.
Ran on well last start beaten 1.5 lengths behind Tribula over 1300m, at second run following a spell. Suited by the step up in distance, well drawn and should be able to take up a forward position. Likely type to take out the treble. Strong chance.
Dexian – Reasonable run last start, first run back from a spell. Last preparation took a few runs before finding form. Well drawn and if forward enough a definite chance.
Hardrada – well drawn and all the better for 2 runs since a spell. Both runs this time well below best but a good chance if he can repeat Lee Steere Stakes / Railway Stakes performances.
Prince Of Pop – 10YO still racing well. Ran a close 3rd in this race last year behind Eastern Standard. Draw against him and may get back in the field. A place chance.
Son Of Vasac – has had 2 runs back from a spell. Good effort last start after missing the kick. Can be a little inconsistent, but is not badly drawn and would be a strong chance on best form.
Suspicion – 5YO mare whose last run (over 1300m) I rated as her best. Is versatile and can handle the extra trip. Draw no help as she likes to lead or race on the pace. If she can get a cushy run, will be in the finish.
Eutectic – another not well drawn, but does have the speed to take a forward position. An EW chance on best form.
Kyoshi – Has been set for this race and could surprise. Likes Kalgoorlie, nicely drawn and does drop considerably in weight on recent starts.
Priceless Matt – Consistent 4YO trained by Fred Kersley. Has the early speed to overcome a poor barrier draw. 2 runs at Kal for 2 x 2nds. An EW chance.
Angel Lea – scratched.
Aussie Strike – Last run (win over 2200) rated as his best. Should lead or sit on the pace. With the right run an EW chance.
Frank The Bank – Last run almost back to best, so room for further improvement. Not well drawn but has the early speed to overcome. 1600m about as far as he likes. With the right run a definite EW chance.
Jashar Boy – Well drawn and has the early pace to take up a forward position. Likes Kal and should be in the finish at the business end.
Kalgoorlie – Ran 6th in this race last year. Although well drawn looks a little out of depth. A rough place chance.
My Pass – Goes well at Kal but best form over slightly shorter distances. A rough place chance.
Star Of Vain – Good runs last 2 – running on well over 1650m at Belmont. May get back in the field from an awkward draw. An EW chance.
Violent Wind – Performs well at Kal but only an outside chance. Meets Kyoshi 3.5kg worse for a 0.25 length defeat over 1760m last start.
Rural Thunder – another who performs well at Kal and has the speed to overcome an awkward draw. A place chance.
Loch Wood – Has had some success at Kal and has the early speed to overcome a wide draw. Best form over slightly shorter distances but has a place chance with the right run.
Precious Plume – Badly drawn and would appear to be racing well out of his depth.
Mint Play - Loves Kal where he has won 5 races. Well beaten in the city last start and although a little unlucky on that occasion and is down in weight on recent starts looks to have only a rough place chance.
Keep an eye on the race-day track condition as it has been raining heavily in Perth the last couple of days and if hitting the goldfields could affect the track.
If the race is run truly should be pace on, with the likes of Suspicion, Priceless Matt, Aussie Strike and Jashar Boy (and Rural Thunder / Loch Wood – if either get a start) all potentially aspiring for the lead.
