Verdict

PLAY DICE (8) went around in a stronger race at Ascot 11 days ago and faded out of contention there, following a good win here prior. Now Pike hops in the saddle from a favourable alley where she should be close to the speed. Can bounce back in a big way and get the job done. INDIE RULER (3) disappointed in a tougher race at Ascot first-up when feeling the pinch late in the race. He does tend to race well second-up, and he'll appreciate this easier company now. He is a course and distance winner in the past and sharp improvement is anticipated. WICKED VENOM (6) is racing in good order of late and actually beat home Indie Ruler at Ascot last start. Likely to get back from the draw but that form reads well and he's expected to be in the finish. ESTIMATOR (2) can run a strong race fresh after failing as favourite at Bunbury 69 days ago. LINDEN'S GOLD (4) pulled up with an issue last start and looks an improver.

Useful type. Last start sat on the pace before fading second last of 12 at Ascot Grad Hcp 60+ on November 9 over 1200m, 6 len behind Playing Rio with 57kg at $19. Before that won by 0.8 len at this track Cl1 October 23 over 1200m defeating Flagship with 59kg at $6.50. Back to midweek grade now and can get the job done.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by a nose at this track Cl3 October 23 over 1000m defeating Wicked Venom with 56.5kg at $4. Second run from a spell raced behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 12 at Ascot 0Mwly on November 5 over 1200m, 4 len behind Norich with 55kg at $14. Better than the last run and worth another chance.

Previously second-up 5th of 9 at Northam Cl3 on September 5 over 1100m, slow going 6 len behind Pin Deep carrying 59kg at $6.50. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.

Comes here off a 39-day let-up. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 14 at Ascot Grad Hcp 60+ on October 12 over 1800m, 4 len behind Great Fortune carrying 55kg at $17. Before that failed to make an impression; 7th of 10 at this track Grad Hcp 60+ on September 21 over 2200m, 6 len behind Hemlock Stone carrying 56kg at $21. Not keen on his chances.
