GOING: G(4)

GLENROY CHAFF HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 5m Entire.  

Avoidance to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. BRAVE STRIKE (6) has contested plenty of strong races in her career thus far and looks well placed in this event. She comes in with just 1 trial under her belt and the inside alley can help her chances off the start. She'll be better over further but her class may carry her all the way. BARNEY'S WORLD (4) ran over the top to score over this course and distance last week in impressive fashion. Maps for a similar run this time with Chris Parnham in the irons once again. Has plenty of upside and it wouldn't surprise to see her go back-to-back. STORM COMMANDER (1) was a good winner over 1100m at Bunbury last time out and rates highly off that effort. This is tougher, but it's hard to ignore the way he did it last start and he's more than capable of knocking this off. MADAM KISSES (2) has scored 4 of her five career wins over this trip and can mix it on her best form. HANG GLIDER (5) can bounce back after a disappointing effort last time out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Brave Strike gets the nod.
