Standouts:

Race 5, N6 Be Awesome – Was an impressive maiden winner two runs back over 1600m at Northam. Dropped back to 1400m last start when not beaten far, hitting the line well late. Looks better suited here out to 1800m and will enjoy a soft run throughout from the good gate. Looks a handy type with plenty of upside who looks comfortable at the top of the market. He has the highest SFR (statfreaks rating) in this race and the highest SFR at the meeting. William Pike is going at an impressive 24%-win strike rate when riding in staying races and an equally impressive 23%-win strike rate when riding horses that settle off-pace. William Pike also has a huge 39%-win strike rate when riding favourites and this is also William Pikes best ride at the meeting as per our SFR.

Race 6, N6 Best Mood – Broke maiden status on debut over 1113m at Geraldton and should have no issue with the rise to 1400m here. Will press forward from the wide gate to enjoy a nice run on speed and will look the winner at some stage. He has the 2nd highest SFR in this race and the 5th highest SFR at the meeting. William Pike is going at a big 29%-win strike rate when riding in middle distance races and a impressive 29%-win strike rate when riding horses that settle on-pace.
