RIPPIN' PEDRO (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fifth (23.01) in a Grade 5/6 at Mandurah. Ready to return to form. NEW HOPE (3) copped a check but raced on speed and boxed on well, finishing a 6 length third (22.08) in a Grade 6 at this track. Can measure up. FEARLESS COBRA (7) crossed over from out wide last start before finishing second (21.89) at this track in a Grade 6 over 381m. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last start. Overdue and is among the main hopes. PONTICELLI (1) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at her latest outing at this circuit.
