WATTO'S MARK (4) comes here off a last-start fifth, beaten 1. 5 lengths, over 6f at Bunbury. Will prove tough to beat. SHARPASSA (6) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 5f at Belmont Park. Has been in super form this campaign, finishing in the money at each of her three starts. Should prove tough to beat. Set Weights INGMAN (3) is back from a lay-off of three-and-a-half months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 5½f at Northam. Will strip fitter following a recent trial win. One of the genuine hopes in the race. RIPPER RUPERT (2) is a talented gelding who was well held last time in tougher grade over 6f in the LR MAGIC MILLIONS WA 3YO TROPHY at Pinjarra. Has been in great form with two victories from four outings this campaign. Can sneak into the finish.
