UNDER INFLUENCE (2) lifted strongly to score by 0.9 lengths last time out over 5½f at Northam at the second run of the campaign. Likely to measure up again. TOROPA (5) was a most impressive winner when resuming last time out over 5f at this track, putting 2.25 lengths on her nearest rival. Gets some weight relief this time. Bold showing expected again. UNIVERSAL PLAYBOY (6) was prominent at the corner and finished third last time over 5f at this track when resuming from a lay-off, beaten half a length. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player. SAINTLY CITY (8) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 5½f at Bunbury after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
