R2- BIG SCREEN has found the sprint trips a little sharp in his three career starts but has shown potential. Ran a handy race leading on debut before struggling against Saturday 3yos. Trialled enormous for his return in another Saturday 3yo race but wasn’t disgraced finishing around some talented types. Comes back into an all age maiden and jumps straight to 1500 where he should be able to lead comfortably and control the race.
R3- BE OPTIMISTIC wouldn’t have looked out of place in the Karrakatta but finds a more suitable race as she likely doesn’t gain a start. Was a game third in the Magic Millions Classic two back when working to get outside the leader before another brave effort in the Gimcrack when midfield. Now faces midweek 2yos and gets 1400 which should suit her down to the ground. The wide barrier makes things tricky but she can roll forward and is tough.
R4- SNIP’N’TUCK was good enough first up at 1400. Her two trials prior were quiet but looked nice and second up at 1600 she should be open to plenty of improvement. Gets a chance to race more forward drawn wide in a race with little tempo which should suit as she is a little one paced but looks to have come on from her initial campaign. Will likely be better over even further but gets her chance in a weak mile race.
R5- Best Bet: KORANIS has put two really good runs together since being ridden forward. Two back he made No Apology really work to get past him when nosed out and they gapped third. Last start was forced to chase a brutal speed towing up the field to the leader before going straight past that leader and winning with authority. Back out to 1800 looks the minor test but he’ll be right on top of the speed again and gets his chance to go back to back.
R6- JUST A PINCH looks the real class runner in this field. Has some quality 3yo form behind Madam Torio, Brooklyn Pier, Acromantula and Chantorque. That is leaps and bounds better than her rivals and she hardly ran a bad race behind any of those listed. Great use of Dhurun’s claim and with the apprentice on expect them to come out running from the wide draw which should suit her as too should the 1000m trip.
R7- QUEEN TAKES KING proved herself as a real stayer winning with 60.5kg over 2400 last start. She got a lovely run in transit but was good to see her do it after a strange and interrupted campaign. Meets a stronger field here but get a little weight relief and comes back 200m. Brad Rawiller is riding in outstanding form at the minute and will need to ride another good race from the wide draw but if she can find any luck in running she looks hard to beat.
R8- MEDIA BARON has been racing well with limited luck through the primary form races for this. Ran the fastest last 600 outside of SAMIZDAT in the Pinjarra Classic before finishing off well in both the Bunbury Stakes and Grandstand Cup when running into backsides at various stages in the straight. Won this race last year when in grand winning form and he seems to be going just as well this year. The smaller field helps here.
R9- KING’S AUTHORITY has been in good form like the entire stable of late. Flew and just missed runner-up Esperance horse of the year Arsinoe before coming to town and looking home before being gunned down by an inform Downforce. Won over 1000m two back for Laqdar before racing without luck again over 1000 in a strong class three. Gets back out to 1200 here from a low draw which look big positives as does Laqdar getting back on. Drops weight up in the grade but the race looks weaker.
Better find one at Kal for the holidays
Kal R2- ANOTHER DEMON has looked back to his best at his last two when jumping clean. Should lead these up at a very moderate tempo and can give a big kick. 64+ grade is absolutely perfect for him there just aren’t a lot on the calendar.

Even if she just rode it with a bit more vigor from the 400 to the 200 it would have won, just happy to pick up the riding fee.
