GOING: G(4)

Crown Perth 15/10 (Rs1mw) 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain Wind Early   Rail: Out 6m.  

Good competitive sprint contest with a number of these more than capable on recent form. Speed anticipated from Agachar Cruz, Brackets and Transgressor. Should be a bit of speed here with Transgressor drawn the outside and Agachar Cruz and Mercurial Spur pushing up. AGACHAR CRUZ is the one to beat if he can get into a good spot. He tried hard when resuming off a long break and will be much fitter for this. Smart on his day so a good chance. BRACKETS is racing well this time in and won't be far away again. Awkward gate but certainly good enough to overcome it. ROGER THE ROMAN is finding it hard to win at the moment but isn't ever too far away from the action. Each-way chances once again. Transgressor is not to be left out either. SUGGESTED PLAY: Looking to play both Transgressor and Brackets.

Fresh up after 11 months laid out near turn; 4th of 11 starters at this track 3yo+ (Bm66+) Sep 10 over 1000m, 2 len behind Let It Slip with 56.5kg. Previously second-up quickly across from a wide gate to to settle just off the pace but gave ground in when 2nd of 13 starters at this track 3yo+ (Bm60+) in Jun 2015 over 1000m, a nose behind Supposition carrying 56kg. Game effort off a decent break. Can only be fitter. Take beating.
