DEFIANT DIORITE (1) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 1.5 lengths from the winner in third over 6f at this track after being in contention on the turn. Has the class to take this out. CATCH THE RED EYE (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when seventh over 6f at Bunbury two weeks ago after being in contention on the bend. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. DADIRRA (12) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when 16th over 7f at Pinjarra. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time. SIR EYRELTON (5) got the job done in grand style last start, scoring by a nose over this journey at this track after stalking the lead. Worth including.
