SWEET EYES (8) was well fancied but below her best at the last run before a break on 17/10/2024, finishing fifth over 1600m at Northam. Starts this prep with William Pike taking charge. Should park just off the speed. Among the leading chances. CHEETO (6) missed the frame when resuming last start over 1000m at Bunbury but wasn't all that far from the winner. Will drift back but wind up late. Will prove tough to beat. DRILLING RIG (2) made debut at Ascot and finished in the placings before going for another break. Sure to be improved by a trial and should run well again. DIAMOND CHOUX (9) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths. Deserves another chance.
