TWILIGHT TALE (6) went back early from her wide draw over 1m1/4f at Belmont Park last time but hit the line strongly to finish fifth. Will be tough to hold out. I'M NIPOTE (9) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just two wins from 20 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 1m at Northam, beaten 1. 75 lengths. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. CHANGING GUARD (2) finished out of the money two starts back then he settled well back and was beaten 11 lengths when seventh over 1m at Kalgoorlie two weeks ago. Worth noting Clint Johnston-Porter goes aboard. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is perfectly placed to score. WEMBANYAMA (7) did a great job to score by 1. 2 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
