Verdict

LET SPARKS FLY (6) won narrowly two back but was dominant last start at Pinjarra when a 2.3L victor over 1 ¼m. Out to the 1 ?m now doesn't look an issue with the way she finished off. She has the speed to roll across from out wide and she's hard to knock on what she's done recently. LEAD BY EXAMPLE (12) missed narrowly just last week at Bunbury and creates plenty of interest on that effort. She was right in the market there and remains down in the weights for today's assignment. Her form ties in through Let Sparks Fly and she can be in the finish once again. PONY UP (4) was very strong late when favourite at Pinjarra last start, winning by 0.2L. She'll be better for that run at the trip and the extra furlong doesn't appear an issue on that effort. Can make an impression once again. REEL SERENITY (7) hasn't been far away recently and out in trip looks a good move. Include. ELECTRIC BEC (5) is racing well and has to be included.
