Northam Race 1 - Debortoli Family Winemakers Mdn
TALKAWAY (7) got a long way back last start but hit the line nicely second-up at this track and trip. She's now third-up into the campaign and Chris Parnham hops in the saddle, indicating she's ready to fire. Can sit a touch closer today and with improvement expected, she looks the one to beat. MIDNIGHT STAR (6) stuck on well over the mile last start when a $1.60 favourite, going under by 1.8L. Back in trip today doesn't look ideal, but the stable and jock are flying and she maps to get her chance. THE SCHOLAR (5) has looked good at the trials coming into this with the stable being patient with him. He moved well in his latest hit out and he hails from a successful family. Can feature if he runs up to the trials. PEANUT BUTTER (1) was disappointing first-up on the Fibre Sand at Bunbury and looks suited out in trip today. Can improve. YOU CAN CALL ME AL (2) looks next best with the blinkers on.

Form hard to fault. Most recently made ground from midfield; 2nd of 11 at this track Mdn on July 10 over 1600m, on a slow track; 1.75 len behind Decision Maker carrying 56kg at $1.60. The race before that came from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track Mdn on June 25 over 1600m, slow going 0.9 len behind Annie Warbucks carrying 56kg at $2.40. Back in trip looks a niggle but she's good enough to win.
