GOING: G(4)

AMELIA PARK HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: Out 16m Cutaway Applies.  

Cracking early tempo with Riseanfall and Kings Honour leading the way. RISEANFALL (6) went close to making it back-to-back wins but bumped into a smart one last start at this track and trip. The winner has since been placed in Saturday company. Louis should be able to hold the front from an inside alley and if she can hold run up to her recent form, she'll take beating. KINGS HONOUR (5) looks a progressive galloper who led down the Pinjarra straight to win at $1.20 last time out. Visors go on again and he looks to have plenty of upside. Can improve again now third-up and make his presence felt. DEMITO (7) made it three wins in-a-row when scoring by 0.4L at Albany last time out as favourite. Hard to knock her recent form and she may be the one to sit in behind and get over the top of them late. GALAXY CAT (3) has been placed 3/5 first-up and was competitive in Saturday grade at the end of last prep. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Riseanfall can get the job done.
