Geraldton Race 1 - Country Comfort Perth (Bm70+)
NEVER SOBER (5) has failed to threaten for a while but he has been contesting far tougher races than this. Freshened up since his last outing forty-six days ago. Looks very well placed with the claim out of the inside gate. Veteran BOMBAY STYLE (1) chimed in late but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 1420m at this track. The small field suits his racing pattern so coming back a little in trip won't be a bother. BE SEATED (3) raced handy and finished a little too well for BOMBAY STYLE here last time. Yet to win in seventeen tries at this distance which is the concern, but he is racing well and should play a big role. DREAM TO ME (2) has been poor in two runs this prep but has won four from nine at the trip so cannot be ruled out. Doubt the other runner HEARTFORD HOUSE (4) has the ability to test these.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up 4th of 10 at this track Rtg 70+ on April 13 over 1113m, 4.5 len behind Zing To Win with 60kg at $9. Second run from a spell second last of 7 at this track Rtg 70+ on April 23 over 1420m, 9 len behind Be Seated carrying 60kg at $10. Better than that and can sneak into the finish.

Returns from a 46-day let-up. At the latest run raced on the pace before fading 10th of 12 at Ascot 0Mwly on March 19 over 1600m, 5 len behind Stylish Lord carrying 57kg at $21. Before that did the work up front then tired 7th of 9 at Ascot 0Mwly on February 1 over 1800m, 1.5 len behind Royal Splendour carrying 57kg at $21. Hard to beat on his best form.
