(* Any updates at Kalgoorlie later on *)

Comments: Kalgoorlie 4-5 Maquis came home well to win over 1316m here a fortnight back. That was an RB62 and he steps to an RB67 while coming back to 1100m. You would have thought she'd need further so the short odds on the morning line are not appealing but she must be a chance. Kalgoorlie 7-6 Lady Lozen has been leading up and getting run down late in recent runs. She's drawn wide and will need to speed across the field, which she'll be able to do easily, but the last 100m will be the worry. She'll be good e/w odds and will give a good sight. Sunshine Coast 5-3 Von Zipper finally broke his duck at his 10th start over this course last time. He'll race on the pace but will need to improve a level to beat the top one.

Black Book: Bendigo 5-5 Crown Ruby led throughout first up here two weeks ago. She thrashed them 2nd up last time over 1000m and you'd think she'll just win again.
