TASHS SPARTAN (6) ran fifth last start at this track over 2185m, beaten 21 metres. Leading hope in a similar race. VINTAGE BLU (10) has been racing well, filling a top-five position at his last four starts including a second most recently at this track over 2185m. No favours expected from this draw. Won't find this any harder and he can add to the impressive recent record. BETTERTHAN SECRET (3) must be considered after she finished third over 2503m at Bunbury a week ago. DEL BOCAVISTA BAY (7) is in the mix if he can recapture the form from two starts back that saw him score over 1140m at Bunbury.
