LUCKEE FLORAN (2) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 3 lengths at this track over 6f. Lisa Staples has been the pilot at his last two wins. Among the leading chances. SPIRIT MAN (3) backs up four days after racing on the speed and finishing second over 5½f at Dongara. Strong run last time and shapes as a major threat. SOUTHERN SCANDAL (7) finished ninth two runs back at Esperance then improved last time out to score by one length over 5½f at this track. Has the talent to take care of this field. CLEVER COMBAT (4) finished second at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 1m at this track, finishing 6 lengths back in tenth. Nicely placed to make amends.
