LE BEAU (6) has started twice, running a good third on debut then finishing eighth, beaten 5.5 lengths, last time over 5f at Belmont Park. Should park just off the speed. Expected to prove tough to beat. DESERT WHISPER (16) finished fifth when resuming at Northam two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 5f at Belmont Park, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. SPEAKING Set Weights AHILI (4) went forward last time but couldn't quicken in the run home and finished seventh over 6f at Pinjarra Scarpside. Solid top-three chance on his best figures. HYPERREAL (2) is back from a break of five months. Closed last campaign with a narrow defeat over 5f at Albany. Has found the right race and is worth including.
