TABTOUCH BETTER YOUR BET MAIDEN 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 2m Entire.  

Solid pace from Flick The Switch and Schnoots pushing forward with Nice By Nature in close attendance. FLICK THE SWITCH (6) should be hitting peak fitness now third-up after feeling the pinch late in the race last time out. Faithfull replaces the apprentice hoop this time around and she has the pace to cross from the draw. Still improving and gets her chance to shed the maiden tag now. SCHNOOTS (3) was no match for a subsequent winner at Narrogin last time out, finishing 2.7L off the winner. She's had plenty of goes now, but the first-up form suggests she's in the mix. Nicely drawn and can make her presence felt. MOVING ON (1) is another who has been to the well a number of times, but rates well in this suitable event. He ran on well to just miss here last start and the extra 100m isn't an issue. Won't be far away. PENALTY FREE (2) is on debut on his home track and the fact that Chris Parnham takes the ride is an encouraging sign. Can make a statement on debut. ROSENTREA (7) draws the inside and should be fitter for the first-up effort. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Flick The Switch.
