RACE 1 - SIXINCH HEELS (9) has been very impressive this campaign, bolting in first-up before another impressive win over 1200m here at the midweeks. Up to Saturday grade today, but she looks a smart filly on the way up and she looks to get every chance. Can bring up the hat-trick. ELITE MISSILE (1) was solid late in the race behind a smart one a fortnight ago and stepping up to 1400m is a big tick for his chances. The wide draw may see him get back in the run, but he'll relish the rise in trip and he can storm home late in the race. SHOOT TO FAME (8) is on the quick turnaround following a 0.4L victory over this trip at Pinjarra last time out. Chris Parnham remains in the saddle and she should be handy from a good barrier. Can put her best foot forward. PRIZED RECRUIT (2) will need some luck from the wide barrier but he's race fit and an improving commodity. SWANSEE (10) was too good from the front last start and can give a bold sight once again.

RACE 2 - TAWKIN' JIBBERISH (1) led the field last start and never gave anything a sniff, bolting in by 3.7L in an impressive victory. She'll need some luck from out wide, but she has the speed to offset the draw and she loves this track and trip. Can repeat the dose of her latest win. AMAROO STAR (6) is looking for the hat-trick following a 0.5L victory over this track and trip 10 days ago. His time was much slower than Tawkin' Jibberish on the same card there, but he is an improving type. Looks to get every chance again and can land the knockout blow. AHYEAHRIGHTO (2) ended last campaign in good fashion with a 0.5L defeat over 1200m here 140 days ago. Comes into this fresh and without a trial, though he was solid first-up last campaign. Wouldn't surprise to see him flashing late. FLICK THE SWITCH (4) looks better suited to this race today and he'll be tough to catch from the front. GOLDEN FIGHTER (5) is racing in good order and should get his chance.

RACE 3 - TERRATIF (7) stepped up in trip last time out on the 7-day turnaround at Bunbury and looks better suited back to this course and distance. She may get back from the draw, though she was an impressive winner from the back first-up. At her peak now and can get the job done. ROCKET JUICE (4) will appreciate the good barrier again today and should lob in a lovely position in behind the speed. He's racing in good order recently and Steve Parnham hops back in the saddle now. Can get back to winning ways. KIRALUI (5) took up the running at the midweeks last start and was collared late, beating 1.9L. Assume they'll look to settle with cover today and she's a third-up winner in the past. Up in trip is a big tick and she looks an improver. PLAYING QUEST (9) is better than he showed last time out and he can be right in the finish. THE SPRUIKER (2) drops back to 1400m off a freshen but he boasts a good record at this trip. Can put his best foot forward.

RACE 4 - BE BARDOT (8) rattled home from the back of the pack on resumption, going under by 0.2L over 1200m. Up in trip is a big tick second-up and she was a second-up winner in her debut campaign. Should sit closer from the draw today and can go one better this time. RED TORI (6) bumped into a smart horse last start at Bunbury when back to this trip. She remains at 1400m with three weeks between runs and Brad Parnham rides again now. Needs some luck from the draw but she has the figures to win. PLAYING GAMES (4) got a long way back first-up at this track and trip last time out but ran over the top to score in good style. Parnham rides now and with the aid of an inside draw, he's likely to play a major role. BRAZEN EMPRESS (10) was a good winner first-up as a $20 chance and she's likely to be better over this trip or further. Watch for her late. SPORTS TALK (11) finished just behind Playing Games last start and has to be included on that formline.

RACE 5 - DEFERRED (7) dropped back to the midweeks last start and got the job done narrowly and that form may have been franked earlier in the day. She's a winner third-up in the past and she jumped favourite in this grade last time out. Draws ideally and can bring up back-to-back wins. BLUE ROCKET (8) is ready to fire third-up into the campaign after a 1.4L defeat most recently. Pike now replaces the apprentice hoop in a good push for her chances and while the draw is sticky, she can make her presence felt at the finish. JUST SAINT JAMES (4) was a touch disappointing last start at Bunbury when favourite over this trip. While he wasn't far off his best last start, his rating two back was better and a return to that level will see him hard to hold out. SILVER EYE (1) is likely to get back in the run but will be storming home late in the race. SIBERIAN SIREN (5) is in the mix despite the wide alley.

RACE 6 - WARRALEA LASS (4) made it back-to-back wins last start with an impressive victory over 2100m here last time out. This is tougher, but she can roll forward from the wide draw and put herself on the speed. Racing in good order and will prove hard to beat once again. ROYAL SPLENDOUR (13) is knocking on the door of another victory and comes through the same race that Warralea Lass won last time out. Pike hops in the saddle now and she ended up further back than anticipated there. Meets the top pick better at the weights this time and can go close. ROYAL LAW (7) is another who comes through the same race as Warralea Lass and Parnham returns o the saddle this time. He looks to get every chance from a good barrier and he'll take plenty of catching from up on the speed. MODELISTIC (11) is looking for the hat-trick and stepping up in trip doesn't look an issue. Live chance. BEEJAY BOY (5) will need some luck but is racing well enough to feature.

RACE 7 - Current Karakkatta Plate favourite YES QUEEN (1) looks the one to beat in the Supremacy following two very impressive trials coming in. She was dominant in her only start and it doesn't look like she's taken a backward step. Can roll forward from out wide and prove too hard to run down. TALKANCO (5) was very hood in her debut campaign, settling back and winning on debut before jumping $1.55 favourite against Yes Queen at her last start. She was only 1.4L away there and the recent trial suggests she's on song. May get back in the run but can storm home late in the race. LUANA MISS (6) was very good on debut when favourite 77 days ago and she showed enough in her latest trial to suggest she can run a big race fresh. Likely to play a major role on resumption. EXCEED THE BOOM (3) is race fit following a strong run last start and he won't be far away. MAYTHISBETHEONE (7) comes into this fresh and will give a bold sight from the front.

RACE 8 - BRAVO CENTURION (1) is a very progressive type who had probably had enough by the Winterbottom Stakes last campaign. He comes into this without a trial, but he's a speedy customer and we probably haven't seen the best of him yet. Should get to the lead and be tough to run down. JOKERS GRIN (10) just missed at the end of last campaign over 1200m, but he's another very progressive type. The draw may be a niggle for him, though he's trialled impressively in the lead up and he'll be finishing strongly. GINNIVAN (4) resumes up in grade but worked through the grades nicely last campaign. He has trial form around Joker's Grin and he too should be up on the speed from the barrier. Can give a bold sight. SALOON BAR (2) resumes with Pike in the saddle, though his fresh record is a niggle. Expecting him to be hitting the line strongly, but further is better for him. BABY PARIS (7) is one who can fly fresh and is not to be discounted.

RACE 9 - TRIO (15) rattled home last time out to be beaten narrowly at 1400m and now step out to the mile for just the first time. He's got a good grounding behind him and Pike sticking is a positive sign. He may get back in the run again but if he runs up to the figures he produced most recently. He can get the job done. SECRET ATTRACTION (5) just missed fresh before a strong effort in Listed company last time out when sitting on the speed. She has a strong third-up record and with the added fitness behind her, she'll be very hard to catch should she adopt similar tactics. DESENNEA (1) has been going around in some strong races recently and may find this a little easier. He was better two back at Bunbury than he was last start and suspect he'll be back from the gate again today. Can be storming home late though. ANGEL UNDERCOVER (4) created interest out to this trip and is a live chance on ratings. OUR ROCKY BAY (13) beat Trio last start and has to be included.
