Verdict

WILD THINGS (5) got a long way back at Pinjarra last start but flew home to take the win, scoring by 0.3L in a good performance. She turned in a strong figure there and the rise in trip doesn't look an issue. Likely to get back again from the draw for Fiore, but with her upside she looks the one to beat. SWIFT STREAKER (1) led them up at Pinjarra over the mile and couldn't fend off an in-form winner. Down in weight today thanks to the claim of Cooper and she should be close to the speed from a favourable alley. That tactical advantage may be pivotal in the finish. ETERNAL ROMANCE (6) was a little awkward into stride and finished 4L off the winner at Pinjarra last start when favourite. She's better than that and now gets CJP in the irons. Can put her best foot forward. MISTRESS OF WAR (3) was solid last start from on the pace and has to be included. ROSIE CAN RUN (4) just missed in a photo most recently and rates highly on that effort.
