REAL DELUXE (6) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 5f at Belmont Park, getting home by 0.6 lengths. Winning rider William Pike retains the mount. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ALL PLAY (3) is a progressive galloper who is when resuming since finishing fourth over 5f at Bunbury nine months ago. Sharpened for this with a recent trial win. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a lay-off in two starts. Takes on a tougher assignment but a bold showing is expected. KING AKEED (4) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by a neck over 5½f at Geraldton as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins from five starts. Expect a bold showing. NORICH (5) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 0.6 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals.
