FLAMING RONDA (7) showed good early pace over 6f at Geraldton when resuming last time and kept going to score by 3. 5 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but she deserves plenty of thought. TRAILER TRUCK (2) accounted for a maiden field over 6f at Pinjarra last start, finishing a nose ahead of the nearest rival. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Holly Nottle was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Can go right on with the job now. NICKELPLAY (5) did a good job last time, finishing in the money when second over 7f at this track. Has a tricky draw to overcome but will go well if she runs up to her best. OCTOBER ROX (9) hasn't been too far away of late, the latest effort a fourth, beaten 2. 75 lengths, at this track over 7f. Settles back early but winds up late. Deserves respect on best figures.
