FULL OF MERIT (9) finished second when resuming two runs back at Northam then progressed nicely last time out to score by 2 lengths as favourite over 7f at Kalgoorlie. William Pike scored on her last time and retains the ride. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form she is right in contention. SPEAK TO ME (1) didn't do a bad job to finish 2.25 lengths away in fourth last start over 6f at this track. That followed a when resuming win at Bunbury. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. ABLOH (2) settled well back then found the line nicely to finish fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over this journey at Kalgoorlie last time out. Should prove tough to hold out. MAJOR MARIO (7) hasn't been far away recently including last time out when second over 7f at Geraldton. Winkers removed this time. Looks one of the each way hopes.
