May 10 Australia form analysis of last four races (Perth)
RACE 14
(1) MASAMUNE had not raced since May 2024 when he resumed down the straight at Pinjarra and with 60kg, produced one of the softest and most dominant wins of the season. He has always shown huge ability, so hopefully they can keep him in one piece and let him work his way through the grades.
(2) SHOOTING SPIRIT is a get-back sprinter. That is William Pike's bread-and-butter; he will sit three back the fence and then burst through late.
(9) SUPERNATURAL is a quality filly resuming with no weight on her back. Must respect.
(4) KRAKEN TIME could have won five to six races but for bad luck in his short career. Nice horse.
RACE 16
(4) AHYEAHRIGHTO has been excellent at each run this campaign without winning. He has drawn to get a lovely stalking run into the home straight and is ready to win. Camera Action got the better of him last start under 59kg but now, dropping to 56kg and tracking up behind a hot tempo (Resonator, Jaz Session, Let's Talk), he looks to get another great chance. One more time for him.
(6) CHOLLIMA is the ultimate fresh horse. She has won all three of her races first-up and trainer Darren McAuliffe produces her first-up, with no trial.
(2) JAZ SESSION went within a head of making it four straight wins this campaign and, if she can overcome a tricky draw, she will be hard to hold out.
(8) LET'S TALK will need to elevate again.
RACE 18
(5) SNITZALATTE went into the Karrakatta Plate undefeated but, after drawing barrier 11, was destined to do it tough three deep. She attacked the line brilliantly to run third, and now drawn barrier 2, with Pike back on, she can be ridden to use the electric short, sharp sprint that she possesses. Maps well to take the Sires Produce.
(1) JUST TOO FLY worked through the field alongside Talkanco when Castle Road took a few of them wide on straightening and was able to run second in the Karrakatta Plate. He is still a maiden but he is now Perth Stakes-Karrakatta Stakes placed and looks like he will relish 1,400m. The logical danger.
(3) DELTASON is the only proven 1,400m horse and won with his eyes closed at his last start.
(2) STATEWIDE draws a good gate and has been targeted at this race the whole way through.
RACE 20
(6) SIBERIAN SIREN won from the leader's back last start. She would ideally love some cover. She can still lead and score, but a natural leader like Great Fortune would have helped her cause.
(8) FIRST ENCOUNTER got punters really excited with his 1,000m straight trial and then the edge came off in his second trial and he was not as sharp. Still great to have him back in WA.
(4) UPPER LIMITS did not beat a horse home last week but watch the replay: he was bolting.
(10) WESTERN POWER has gone to a new level this campaign. Include in calculations.
