Verdict

BARRAQUITO (7) finds the right race today, missing narrowly over 1 ?m at Pinjarra last time out. Stepping up in trip looks good for her on the back of that performance and she finds a very winnable race here. Can put herself up front and out of trouble and will be very hard to reel in. MR FRODO (2) missed over this track and trip 17 days ago when bumping into a dominant winner who has since raced in Wednesday company. He should land in a handy position from the barrier and he'll be poised to strike if the favourite's off her game. YALDA NIGHT (1) steps out to 1 ?m today after a disappointing performance at Pinjarra last time out. Nottle rides again today and this looks a more suitable race. Blinkers go back on now and he won't be far away. BHULLAR (5) is better than she showed last time out and may be able to go to another level now right out in distance. CORSO VENEZIA (6) is third-up now and can improve despite the sharp rise in distance.
