MAJOR MANHATTAN (2) made an impressive return last start when successful over 1 ⁵⁄₁₆m at Northam on April 26 getting home by 2 metres. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. That latest effort is good enough to win a race of this calibre. Group 2 placegetter MISTER PICCOLO (5) turned in an out-of-character effort last time out when 14 metres away in sixth over 1 ⅜m at Narrogin. Form prior to that had been solid. Has the ability to return to something like his best. THE MERCENARY (4) must be considered after he finished third over 1 ⁵⁄₁₆m at this track two weeks ago. CULLEN STAR (3) will be peaking third up and is ready to put his best hoof forward.
