NORICH (6) strode forward early last start from his wide draw and was never headed, scoring by 1.2 lengths at this track over 6f. Takes on a better field this time but is still among the leading chances. BOPPING BLUE (4) was an impressive winner last time over 5f at this track, leading throughout and putting 2.75 lengths on his rivals. Goes up a notch this time but is expected to be in the finish. SUNLIT FRESCO (8) is racing well, scoring in a at Bunbury before finishing half a length from the winner in second last time over 5½f at this track. Brad Parnham stays aboard. One of the contenders. CRIPPALENKO (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth. Nicely placed to find some form.
