MANHATTAN STRIP (13) hasn't been far away lately, last time finishing fifth over 7½f at Pinjarra, and gets some weight relief. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Expecting a bold showing. ATLANTIS BEACH (8) settled well back then came home powerfully to score by a head over 7½f at Pinjarra last time out. Should be in the finish again. HARBIN (10) turned in a strong run last time when he settled well back before running on hard to be beaten only a head into second over 7½f at Pinjarra. Should feature in the finish again. HESKET (1) returns from a short break after winning over 7f at Bunbury five-and-a-half weeks ago. Shouldn't lack fitness after a recent Lark Hill trial placing. Has claims on best figures so don't underestimate.
