PRETTY DEVINE (6) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a second at Pinjarra over 1300m. Should be poised just off the lead. Leading contender. TOO MUCH TALK (2) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish seventh, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1300m at Pinjarra. Will be handy in the run and should prove hard to run down. PLAYBALL (9) returned from a spell eight days ago when he was beaten 5 lengths into seventh over 1100m at Ascot. Finds a suitable race and can take this out. SPEED BUBBLE (1) did well to score two runs ago then turned in a nice run last time out when third over 1190m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
