Verdict

RAY'S SAUCE (3) is hard to knock on his recent form, just missing here two back before a strong win from on the speed last start at Roebourne. Drawn out again this time but he showed good early speed two back from the wide alley and the last start rating is strong. Can go back-to-back. MY TEA (7) got too far back last start as the race favourite and never got into the race, with the jockey saying he resented the kick back. Turner now rides from a better draw where he can take closer order, returning to the scene of his last win. Can bounce back in a big way. ESQUEL (1) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at Roebourne over 6f. Likely to play a major role. MISSILE GIRL (6) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing ninth. Well placed to make amends. CASSENITE (4) is next best.
