Verdict

COSMIC TREAT (5) stepped out to 7f last start and shed her maiden tag, leading the field from barrier to box to score by 0.6L. The inside draw should see her close to the speed once again and the claim of Nottle comes in handy. Can improve again now third-up and looks the one to beat. THE ROCKET (6) hasn't been far away this time in work, finishing 1.6L off the winner most recently when jumping the race favourite. Pike hops in the saddle now in a big push for his chances and he should be ready to peak third-up into the campaign. Can go to another level now. NAUGHTY LORD (3) returned in good order at Pinjarra when 0.9L off the winner when flashing late. The rise in trip looks ideal for this son of Playing God and he has plenty of upside. Can feature in the finish. PURE SILVER (4) won at Bunbury on Sunday in good fashion and is on the quick turnaround here. Leading contender if she handles the quick backup. IMPENDING LASS (7) is next best.
