ESSENTRIC NATURE (6) missed the frame when resuming last start over 6f at this track but wasn't all that far from the winner. Usually performs well with that run under his belt. Settles back early but winds up late. One of the leading chances. CRUISE TO VICTORY (5) is close to breaking through with four placings from four runs this campaign, last time out finishing third over 7f at Pinjarra. Key runner who should feature in the finish. ON PATROL (3) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only 0.7 lengths from the winner at the end of 6½f. Facing a tougher assignment but he is worth serious consideration. MEAN FEAT (8) showed good early speed from the inside draw last time out, leading for home before finding a couple better over 6f at this track. Well-placed and can feature in the finish.
