Kalgoorlie Cup Tip: Iowa
Iowa will clash with Starry Heights for the second straight start, and the Simon Miller-trained gelding will be seeking to turn the tables with a 2.5kg weight swing going in his favour. This son of Galileo had won back-to-back races over 2100m and 2200m before his last run, after settling on speed and proving too strong late. Although this guy was slightly held up on the inside, Iowa finished off strongly, and with a better run in transit, he can take out the feature.

Best Bet at Kalgoorlie: Influencing
Influencing will head to Kalgoorlie for the first time, seeking to claim his first victory of this preparation following his second-place finish over 1200m at Belmont. The four-year-old gelding from the Daniel & Ben Pearce yard settled behind the speed and took over at the 200m mark before being run over by Eliteone in the concluding stages of the race. Natasha Faithfull has retained the ride, and from barrier one, Influencing can find the front on the rail and take some catching late.

Next Best at Kalgoorlie: Full Of Merit
Dion Luciani and William Pike will combine with Full Of Merit once again, following a second-place finish fresh at Northam over 1300m on September 15. The daughter of Demerit has finished in the placings 11 times for only one win; however, this race sets up perfectly for this girl as there is no other leader engaged in this contest. With a tough run under her belt and Pike choosing to stick, Full Of Merit is going to prove very hard to run down if she gets her own way out in front.

Best Value at Kalgoorlie: Under Influence
Under Influence has been racing in fine form this preparation for the Daniel & Ben Pearce stable, and his last start second was impressive, as he flew home from the back of the field over 1000m. There appears to be a lot of speed in this race, which should set the race up perfectly for a swooper like this guy to finish off strongly once again. If Pike can settle off the fence at the rear of the field on Under Influence, he can play a prominent role in the finish at a great price with online racing betting sites.

Race 9 – #2 Under Influence (8)
