Verdict

BEATS OF WAR (11) led and bolted in over this course and distance last week in easier company, scoring by 4.8L. This is a step up in grade, but Brad Parnham replaces the apprentice hoop and he has the early speed to offset the sticky gate. Can repeat the dose. I LOVE YOUR SMILE (8) looks poised to strike third-up now and with Pike in the saddle from a favourable barrier. She boasts a good third-up record and although she hasn't won for a while, he has turned in some strong figures in defeat. Should get every chance to end the drought. LYRICAL ANGEL (10) ended up 1.8L off the winner here a fortnight ago and is expected to be better again following that performance. The wide draw is a query, but this is an open race and if the luck swings her way, she can go close again. ALASKAN (6) is better than he showed last start and is not to be discounted. LONG GENES (7) is racing in good order and has winning claims in an open race.

At the latest run won by 5 len at this track 0Mwly September 6 over 2200m in heavy going defeating Olden carrying 54kg at $15. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 11 at Bunbury All Weather Cl5 on August 21 over 2000m, 3 len behind Arnray carrying 54kg at $12. Far too good here last week and he looks well placed to win again.

Knocking on the door and should go close with some luck.

Second run back. First-up after four months won by a head at Pinjarra Cl3 August 20 over 1600m in heavy going defeating State Of Fury with 58kg at $15. Previously second-up second last of 10 at Ascot Cl3 on February 12 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Touretto with 59.5kg at $61. In the money when second up in the past and can add to that record today.
