Verdict

SUPERRIFIC (3) trialled well coming into his fresh effort where he got well back and finished off nicely, beaten 1.9L. Pike remains on board and he should be better for the fresh effort. His last start rates highly and while he's likely to get back again, he can land the knockout blow. PROPERATA (1) was too good at this track and trip 10 days ago, beating the older horses in a strong performance. His form last campaign was solid and stacks right up here, particularly off the fresh win. Wouldn't surprise to see him repeat the dose. SPINARELLA (6) missed by 2.5L at Bunbury last time out and CJP hops on board now. A favourable barrier should see her close to the speed and a forward showing is on the cards. EXTREME DIXIE (11) has impressed at the trials, showing speed from the outset. That looks important for this event and she can make a statement. MANHATTAN SQUEEZE (7) is third-up now and finished behind a smart one last time. Include.

Second run back. First-up after four months favourite; came from midfield and won by 0.5 len at this track Mdn July 29 over 1000m defeating Star Martini carrying 55.5kg at $2.20. Previously second-up 6th of 13 at Ascot 2yo Swp on January 31 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind Maria Lucia with 57kg at $16. Too good on resumption and this looks within his grasp.

Second-up. First start got back early 6th of 10 at Ascot 2yo Mdn on April 29 over 1000m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Anaconda Jones carrying 55kg at $8. Went for a spell before returning 5th of 13 at this track 2yo Swp on July 25 over 1000m, 2 len behind Rifleman carrying 57kg at $6.50. Flew late last start in a strong race and should be better for that effort.

Dion Luciani trained three-year-old filly lining up for debut. Impressing at the trial trials. Shown speed at the trials and that makes her an attractive commodity on debut.

Form hard to fault. Last start 3rd of 13 at Bunbury Mdn on July 30 over 1200m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Extronize with 53.5kg at $3.70. The run before that came from midfield; 3rd of 13 at this track 2yo Swp on July 11 over 1000m, 2.75 len behind Dawn Dancer carrying 52.5kg at $26. Racing well and should get every chance with CJP on board.
