GOING: G(4)

TERRA DRILLING MAIDEN 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 27)   Rail: Out 8m Entire. (Pent: 6.3).  

Small field in which Yakyak can find the front comfortably at a moderate tempo. RIGHT TO SILENCE (6) has been improving in each of her 3 runs this prep and will appreciate lining up against country opponents for her fourth-up assignment. The step up to 1400 metres is ideal and is ready to put her best hoof forward. FLYING THE FLAG (3) has hit some good form recently and was a close-up third for his new trainer at Esperance for his new trainer a fortnight ago. He will be peaking fourth up and his first win is not far away. YAKYAK (5) is a long-time maiden who had to work too hard early on from a wide gate at Esperance last time out nearly 4 weeks ago. She can make full use of the pole position this time and is expected to bounce back into the money. FIFTY WORDS (1) had no luck fresh up in his first start in Western Australia after making the move from a country Victorian stable. He will strip fitter and can improve sharply. Stick with him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Right To Silence to win.

Form hard to fault. Most recently held ground to the line 3rd of 7 at Esperance Mdn on March 15 over 1300m, on a slow track; long-neck behind Oakwood carrying 57kg at $3. The race before that came from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Esperance Mdn on March 3 over 1100m, 0.5 len behind Profit Pocket with 57kg at $8. Has to be considered.
