Point/useful hurdles winner who completed a straightforward task when landing a 5-runner novice at Ffos Las on chasing bow in October. Bound to improve on that, so appeals as a big player.

2/1

Completed the hat-trick over hurdles when scoring here at Perth in April and shaped encouragingly when second over an inadequate trip switched to fences there 51 days ago. Fancied to go one better.

12/1

Consistent hurdler who went with little zest when down the field in a handicap at this course on chasing debut. Faces a less intense scenario now, so should improve on that.

Legends Gold (15/8), Carrolls Milan (2/1), Deputy's Oscar (3/1), Deja Vue (7/2), Early Morning Rain (9/1), Coded Message (12/1)

CARROLLS MILAN showed plenty when runner-up in a novice at Perth on her first try at chasing and, with the return to this sort of trip likely to bring about improvement, she's narrowly preferred to the penalised Legends Gold who scored cosily at Ffos Las in October. Deja Vue is another one to consider.
