While she's yet to break through for a win from 8 starts, she's shown enough ability to suggest she can be competitive in this maiden field. The Brett Pope stable has her ready to fire fresh.
3rd pick2nd
4Bubbles In Rio
The mare has race fitness on her side, having run 27 days ago, and drops significantly in class. While she's yet to break through for a win, her consistency and experience at the distance (10 starts) give her strong claims. Austin Galati takes the ride from a slightly awkward barrier 8.
Value pick9th
1Pints At Paddys
Pints At Paddys brings the advantage of peak fitness, having raced just 7 days ago. The gelding is likely to push forward from barrier 9 and could find himself in a prominent position in a race with very fast tempo.

7A Summer Fling
First starter from the D & B Pearce stable with champion jockey William Pike engaged - a significant pointer to ability. Drawn perfectly in barrier 3 to get a good position midfield in what should be a genuinely run race. The stable rarely presents unprepared runners and Pike's booking suggests this filly has shown ability at home.

Consistent performer with 4 placings from 5 starts including a second at this track. Likely to push forward from barrier 6 and should be right in the finish with experienced jockey Shaun McGruddy aboard.

13Vexatious Rose
Vexatious Rose brings the strongest form credentials with 4 placings from 6 starts and has been knocking on the door with three consecutive placings. Last start third in a 2000m maiden at Pinjarra followed a second over 1675m. Drops significantly in class from a Class 1 two starts back where she ran a creditable fourth.
2nd pick4th
8Pembeton
Pembeton comes off a strong second placing in a Restricted 0 Metro Win race at Belmont Park just 7 days ago, beaten only half a length. That form reads well for this maiden contest. Has placed once from 8 starts and is dropping significantly in class. Drawn well in barrier 8 and gets the services of Brad Parnham.
3rd pick8th
1Macho Arquero
Macho Arquero brings solid credentials with 3 seconds and 3 thirds from 19 starts. Comes off consecutive second placings over 2000m and 2100m, suggesting the 1800m will suit perfectly. Has experience at this track and distance with a third placing. Carries top weight but has been consistent under similar weights recently. Drawn midfield but should get a good run with Holly Watson aboard.
Value pickWon
5Final Call
Has finished third in both runs this preparation over 1300m and 1500m, suggesting the step up to 1800m should suit. Well-drawn in barrier 7 and gets the services of Joey Azzopardi who has ridden him in all starts. The expected fast tempo should play to his strengths as he typically finishes strongly.

Seven Candles comes off an impressive maiden win at Pinjarra and has shown ability in both career starts. Second-up from a spell today which should see further improvement. The class rise and top weight are concerns, but his raw ability and potential for improvement make him a genuine winning chance.

Oisin brings consistency with a solid place record and draws the inside barrier which should allow him to take up a forward position.
