Northam Race 1 - The Country Comfort Mdn
SAISOKU (1) earns top billing after consecutive Bunbury seconds around 2000m, the better of them a nose defeat behind Major Magnus before he was again solid when second to Forever Victorious. A slight tinker with his gear should help and he can go one better to land the prize this time. POPPY'S ROSES (4) is the obvious danger after being beaten a nose as odds-on favourite at this track. CJP sticks with her as she steps right out in trip, but that doesn't look an issue third-up and she can make her presence felt. MYSTACHEENO (2) was close behind SAISOKU two back, then had a bump at the start before finishing fourth at Bunbury. Ticking along well enough to suggest he can feature. SHE'S SOME CRAIC (6) has recent efforts at this venue that keep her in the mix. SHE'SATROOPER (5) is next best.

Arrives off two solid Bunbury seconds, most recently beaten two and a half lengths by Forever Victorious over 2025m after being near the top of an open market. He was beaten a nose by Major Magnus the run prior and has placed five times from six with Taj Dyson aboard. Knocking on the door and a slight tinker with his gear can help him shed the maiden tag.

Followed a narrow Bunbury third behind Major Magnus with a fourth to Forever Victorious, beaten just under six lengths after being bumped at the start. That latest run had some excuse, and he did travel well two back when near the top of an open market. Won't be far away if he runs up to his recent performances.

Second-up after finishing seventh at this track over 1600m, beaten eight lengths by Forgot The Rock after leading and coming under pressure late. His debut at this venue last year was also well below standard when unwanted in the market and beaten a long way. The new 2200m assignment looks a stiff task.

Went desperately close at this track last start, beaten a nose by Forgot The Rock after being sent out an odds-on favourite. That followed a sound Bunbury third behind God Be Quick, beaten just under a length, so she is holding her form well this campaign. Right out in trip now, but it should suit and she can go one better.

Did have an excuse when sixth at this track last start, racing wide throughout before finishing just over seven lengths from Forgot The Rock. Her previous run was much harder to like, beaten over 15 lengths at this venue after covering ground again. Not out of this.

Led at this track last start over 1300m before fading to fifth, beaten just over three lengths by Unimando at big odds. She had earlier finished fourth at this venue over 1600m, beaten just under five lengths, so her recent efforts are respectable for this grade. Some query right out in trip but her recent figures stack up.

Comes out of country company and now meets a harder assignment after finishing fifth at Moora, beaten over 14 lengths by Ribellato despite making some late ground. Two back at Bunbury she was ninth and beaten ten lengths after offering little when it mattered. Hard to recommend off seven unplaced runs.
