PERISSEUO (4) did not race as well as expected in Darwin at the end of his last prep after some good runs here before that. He would have matured over his spell and with more time to adapt to racing in the area, he should be hard to beat fresh-up. JEN'S REWARD (3) caused an upset here three weeks ago when returning to her best form with a comfortable win. She has proven to be hard to get a line on but if she can repeat her last start effort, another win would not be such a big surprise. PRINCESS PANCAKES (6) mixed her form last prep and has since shifted stables. She built up a fairly handy record when trained in Victoria and will have no trouble measuring up around these parts. She draws the fence and the markets will be your best guide. RUPERT'S DELIGHT (1) tried hard when running second here first time out and he normally improves quickly with a run under his belt. He saves his best for this track and with the aid of a two-kilo claim he should be right in the finish again.
