Verdict

JUST PETTY CASH (6) is the horse to beat after a Northam third on heavy ground, where she was beaten three lengths by Secret Planet and now presents third-up with Laqdar Ramoly back aboard. Her easy Belmont trial adds to the sense she is ready to win. BLACK IRISH (2) is the immediate danger after charging into second at this venue, beaten a head by Beaumont Miss at generous odds. This looks to shape similarly to his last start and it wouldn't surprise to see him go one better. MT MAGNET GOLD (8) has been plain in two recent runs but gets a kinder assignment. Joins Tony Scally and had genuine wide-run excuses at Belmont. This is easier and an improved run is on the cards. ALASKAN NUGGET (3) resumes with blinkers on and can improve fresh, but he remains unplaced from ten starts and minor money looks the more likely target. SO I THOUGHT (4) faded fresh but can improve with the fresh run under his belt.

6	Returns from a two-month let-up with the best winning profile, having placed third at Northam on heavy ground behind Secret Planet and now rising to her third run of the campaign. The run prior at Pinjarra Scarpside came when near the top of an open market and she has since won an easy Belmont Park trial. Third-up here and looks poised to strike on the back of an impressive trial recently. 1st Pick 6 Just Petty Cash Jockey: Laqdar Ramoly Trainer: Meryl Hayley J: Laqdar Ramoly T: Meryl Hayley	140	-	-	-	67%

2	Went within a head at this track last start, settling back from a wide barrier before picking up strongly behind Beaumont Miss at generous odds. That was a clear return to form after he was slow away and well beaten at Bunbury. Can go one better this time with this shaping similarly. 2nd Pick 2 Black Irish Jockey: Kyra Yuill Trainer: Brad Graham J: Kyra Yuill T: Brad Graham	174	-	-	-	17%

8	Returns from a two-month let-up and gets a softer assignment after a wide run throughout at Belmont Park, where she was second last but only beaten five and a half lengths by Hot Chix Lane. She had also covered ground at Bunbury at big odds. Right back in grade and sharp improvement is on the cards. 3rd Pick 8 Mt Magnet Gold Jockey: Jason Lyon Trainer: Tony Scally J: Jason Lyon T: Tony Scally	90	-	-	-	9%
