CITINO (3) was given time to settle from an outside draw last time then wound up strongly in the straight for an eye-catching third over 1m3f at this track. Expected to prove tough to hold out again. STRIKE NOW (1) improved sharply on his fifth two starts back at this track with success over 1m3f at this track two weeks ago, getting home by a nose. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SLUICE BOX (13) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a eighth over 1m1/4f at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time. TRULY RELIABLE (7) was a long way back last start but hit the line well to finish fourth, beaten one length, over 1m2f at Pinjarra. Must be included.
