MESSINA (6) faced the starter for the first time and finished tenth last start at this track over 6f, beaten 10 lengths. Will have a lot more to offer this time. STORM AWAY (5) is a two-year-old gelding by Lucky Vega out of Nightingales on debut for the Mitchell Pateman stable. Comes here off a recent trial win. Looks set for a bright start. Watch for positive market leads. JUST WALTER JOHN (1) started at big odds on debut last start but ran a bold race, finishing third and beaten 0.8 lengths over 5f at this track. Has ability and must be respected. RECONNAISSANCE (4) is a two-year-old colt facing the starter for the first time. From a strong family that has produced at black type level, being by Starspangledbanner from the former top race mare Impressive Jeuney. Was in the placings in a recent trial at Pinjarra Scarpside. Sure to be competitive despite a difficult draw.
