JUST WALTER JOHN (4) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 2. 5 lengths over 6f at Pinjarra Scarpside. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role. DEEPEST DESIRE (6) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten 1. 3 lengths, over 5f at Bunbury on debut. Among the leading chances. SOUND OF SPEED (2) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 2 lengths back in fourth over 5½f at this track. Well placed and expected to feature. BEYOND MEASURE (5) is a first-starter by Playing God out of Measured Response. Won a recent Belmont Park trial. Worth watching for a betting move.
