ROYAL TORONADO (3) made it two wins on the bounce last time out when he scored by 2. 5 lengths over 1m3 1/2f in the LR Pinjarra Cup. Winning rider William Pike retains the mount. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player again. FANCY RED (5) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1m, finishing sixth and beaten 3 lengths. Has a fine record here with two wins from six starts. Should run well. RUSSIAN TO THE BAR (4) settled well back then picked up fairly well in the straight and finished 4 lengths away in sixth last time out over 6f at this track when resuming from a lay-off. Steps up in journey. Backmarker who keeps coming. Will prove tough to stop. OUTSPOKEN LAD (7) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 2. 2. 5 lengths over 1m1 1/2f at Narrogin. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
