Winner AUD $11,360 - 7 runners
5f
Going: Good
Surface: D
HOT CHATTER (6) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race when fresh from a lay-off last time out, finishing third and beaten only 2.25 lengths over 5½f at York after being prominent at the corner. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is right in contention. OCEAN OUTLAW (7) resumes from a lay-off of six months and is having his first outing under new trainer Jody Mc Laughlin. Finished sixth at Toodyay over 5½f at the opening run last time in work. Fitter for a eighth in a recent trial over 4¾f at Lark Hill. Key runner fresh from a break. BERRY BERRY GOOD (5) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 5½f at Dongara, finishing fourth and beaten 0.9 lengths when he worked home well. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. BOURBON BEAU (3) is back from a lay-off of eight months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 5f at Carnarvon. Has to be respected.
