SKYTALKER (3) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 20 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 6f32yards at Albany, beaten 2. 5 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. MA MA BELLE (6) lines up for the hat-trick after registering a strong win last time over 6f at Pinjarra, scoring by a nose. Holly Nottle has been the pilot at her last two wins. Among the leading chances. BEST OF THE GODS (4) is back at the races for the first time since August 7. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 6f at Pinjarra Scarpside. Comes here with definite top-three claims. MAGIC MIKEY (7) is back from a lay-off of nine weeks. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 7½f at Albany. Definite top-three chance.
