GASPARDO (5) has shown promising signs in both runs to start his career, only beaten 1.3L here last start as a 9-4 chance. He was forced to sit wide here last start, and he now draws a much better gate with the blinkers on first time. Maps for a lovely run and can shed the maiden tag this time. FIRE THE GUARD (1) was given every chance last start by Fiore at Geraldton but bumped into once better when beaten 0.3L. The form out of that race has already been franked though and he should get his chance once again from an inside alley. Worth keeping on side and has shown he's good enough. STORMY'S SHOW (11) makes her debut today and showed plenty of talent in a recent trial at Lark Hill. Hearn remains in the saddle, and she'll be closing off well from back in the pack. CYPRESS MOUNTAIN (6) is better than he showed last start over 1000m and may be looking for the extra trip now. GREAT DEAL (2) can put his best foot forward first-up on the back of a nice trial.
