1. Sun Power | Ridden just off the pace and was unlucky not to have won when second 0.3L at Esperance Cl2 over 1200m. Challenged for the lead but held rivals at bay to win 0.1L at Esperance Cl5 over 1300m. |
2. Cloak And Dagger | Ran two lengths back from the winner last start at Esperance Bay when resuming and drawn ideally. Without a win in 11 runs at the track. Unlikely. |
3. Bootleg Rascal | Has placed in two runs from five this campaign and down in distance. Likely to race on the speed. A good chance. |
4. Balladeer | Only just missed in driving finish last start at Esperance Bay and down in distance. Should run fitter for two previous outings. Should fight out the finish. |
5. City Ransom | Finished a length back from the leader last start at Mount Barker and takes a 3kg claim. Likely to race on the speed. Must respect. |
6. Any Given Time | Back from long spell of 92 weeks and placed when trialling at this track. Has not won in 16 outings to Esperance Bay before. Appears tested. |
7. Choreograph | Has struggled in all three runs so far this campaign and has not won in three outings to Esperance Bay before. All three wins have come in the dry. Place hope. |
8. Scotty Too Hotty | Struggled so far this preparation and blinkers come off. All wins have come when faced with dry ground but hard to get enthused. |
9. Temple Man | Resumes after spell of 14 weeks and having first run for a new trainer. Very strong resuming winning twice when fresh. Needs the breaks. |
10. Trash Panda | Faded to finish 10th last start at Esperance Bay and without a win in three runs at the track. Down in distance. Looking to others. |
