Comments: Northam 5-3 Port Regis took 27 starts to break his duck but that was only his 3rd run since coming to Perth from Victoria. He's drawn well and will get a good run with the in form P King on board so I'm happy to follow up on him. Northam 6-1 On The Carpet ran well for 3rd in this grade and over this course last time out when drawing barrier 12 of 12. Has drawn much better here and is in with a great chance. Rockhampton 4-7 Plucky Prawn is one of those horrible selections that come out of systems every so often. He's having his 16th run and is still trying to win his Maiden. He's $5.50 on the morning line, which seems about $10 light to me. The only saving grace in terms of his chances is that the rest of them look pretty legless, as well.
