Verdict

COSMIC CRUSADER (10) made it back-to-back wins in the Northerly last week, picking up his G1 win at WFA level. How far would he have won the Railway by? Anyway, he's stamped himself as one of WA's premier horses and he showed two back that this trip was no issue. CJP will keep him out of trouble and he can bring up a rich hat-trick. SUPER SMINK (13) looks well placed here from the good draw following a disappointing run in the Railway. This looks her race of The Pinnacles and if she can hold a spot like she did two back, then she's right in this race on her best form. ROPE THEM IN (11) was strong in the Winterbottom and has been targeted at this all the way through. OVERPASS (1) is some query at the trip but is a very classy customer.
