Verdict

CASSANDRA (10) has made the right start to her career, winning on debut at Pinjarra before closing strongly for third at this track when beaten 0.8L as favourite. She returns off a six-week freshening and Pike sticking is a big tick. Maps to get every chance and can get back to winning ways. TRAILER TRUCK (3) was better than ninth first-up at Kalgoorlie suggests, beaten only three and a half lengths in a Class 2 after settling rearward, and his second-up improvement can bring him right into this. SUPER SENTAI (2) drops out of a heavy-track Class 3 failure at Northam and is better judged on the narrow Mdn win two back, with a recent Belmont Park trial adding readiness. A better effort is expected this time. PRODUCIMUS (5) won her Mdn on soft ground at Bunbury before a fair fifth at Northam. Blinkers go on now and she can play a leading role. BEAUMONT MISS (8) can build on a gutsy last start win at Geraldton.

10	Returns from a six-week freshening after a strong third at this track, beaten just under a length as favourite after travelling well and finishing off with purpose. She had won on debut at Pinjarra as a well-supported favourite, coming from a long way back to beat Rocktex. Two starts for a win and a placing is the best profile here, and with William Pike back aboard she sets the standard. 1st Pick 10 Cassandra Jockey: William Pike Trainer: Jason Pateman J: William Pike T: Jason Pateman	217	-	-	-	56%	4/5

3	Resumed with a sound enough ninth in a Class 2 at Kalgoorlie, beaten three and a half lengths after settling rearward and keeping on late. That reads better than the finishing position, especially back in grade, though his five previous tries around 7f have produced no placings. Holly Nottle has won on him before and the 3lbs claim helps, with natural second-up improvement he can make his presence felt. 2nd Pick 3 Trailer Truck Jockey: Holly Nottle Trainer: Mitchell Pateman J: Holly Nottle T: Mitchell Pateman	144	-	-	-	14%	13/2

2	Returns from a two-month let-up after failing to quicken in a heavy-track Class 3 at Northam, where he was second last and beaten over 10 lengths at big odds. That was well below the narrow Mdn win two back, when he beat Finitto Web at Northam after racing prominently. Drops sharply in grade, has a 7lbs claim and comes off a solid third in a Belmont Park trial, which gives him a strong platform to rebound. 3rd Pick 2 Super Sentai Jockey: Natika Riordan Trainer: Sean & Jake Casey J: Natika Riordan T: Sean & Jake Casey	100	-	-	-	16%	11/2
