EXCELTRAIN (3) is a distance specialist who turned things around last start and landed the prize by 0.6 lengths as favourite over 6f at Mt Barker. Finds a tougher race but another win beckons. CERRIDWYN (5) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 7f at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is good enough to take this out. BUDGERIGAR (2) started favourite last time but found one better over 6f at this track. Record at this trip is excellent. Top three prospects. PLAYING RIO (7) showed good early speed and raced just off the lead before lifting to score by a head over 7f at Pinjarra last start. Jason Whiting who has two wins when partnering stays on. Best figures stack up.
