Verdict

FAMEUX (1) has disappointed his past couple but his prior form over this track and trip was superb. Back in grade here may prove the difference with Webster's claim a big tick. Can land in a handy spot and get back to winning ways. LA SIGNORA DANE (5) is better than she showed last time out over 6 ½f and dropping back in trip slightly looks the ideal move. Nottle hopping on board is a big push for her chances, as is the better barrier on offer today. Can bounce back to her best. CALATHINITE (3) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when fifth over 6f at Roebourne, beaten 3 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. IMPERIALIZE (2) made progress last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third over 7f at Roebourne. Likely improver with strong prospects. DENVER AFFAIR (6) is next best.
