BUSTLING (2) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by 1.5 lengths last time out over 5½f in the LR Perth Stakes at this track. Drawn to go forward again. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. Group 3 winner SIREN ASSAULT (6) lines up for the hat-trick after registering a strong win last time over 5½f in the G3 Gimcrack Stakes at this track, scoring by 1.5 lengths. Tougher assignment this time but is still among the leading chances. Group 3 placegetter GOLDEN KATHLEEN (7) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 5½f at this track. Stiffer assignment here but still one of the main contenders. SIR DREAMALOT (3) finished 1.5 lengths back in second over 5½f in the LR Perth Stakes at this track last time out after a gutsy win two runs back. Brad Parnham who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Deserves respect.
