SKIP A BEAT (6) was first up for more than five months when he scored by 2.8 metres at Pinjarra. Progressive gelding who is building a good strike rate and he is unbeaten when second-up so expect him to take another step forward. ERA (10) came from this row to score at this circuit and distance then drew deep and raced parked when third over a shorter journey last week, Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line and if the gaps come he could be dangerous. FRANCO MECCA (4) is heading the right way, improving last time out to miss by a head when second from the back row at this venue and distance. JIMMY ROCKS (8) resumes after three-and-a-half months. Generally comes to hand very quickly, with two wins and a placing from four first-up appearances. Draws wide but keep safe.
