    Race Analysis

    LINCHPIN (2) is a talented gelding who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 6 lengths behind Aberdeen Flyer over 1m1f in the LR J. C. Roberts Stakes at this track. Backmarker who keeps coming. Will be tough to hold out. SASSY SNIPPET (10) is a first-starter by Snippetson who was an AUD $ 20,000 (Magic Millions 2023 Perth Winter Thoroughbred Sale) purchase. Showed ability in a recent trial win at Lark Hill. A betting push will add to the confidence. GANGSTER GODDESS (7) disappointed last time when eighth over 7f at this track after a close second at Pinjarra Scarpside the run prior. Better suited at this shorter trip so deserves another chance. XENTARO (1) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6f at this track, beaten 3. 5 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
