GOING: G(3)

Royal Hotel Warialda Hcp (C1) 1400m

Track: GOOD 3   Thundershowers Early   Rail: True.  

Larrikan Prince is the only one of these to have raced forward in recent starts. STILL THE SAME is racing well having finished runner at three of his last four and was beaten less than 0.3L at each of them. His strike rate is a concern but he was just nosed out last time and returned a rating that is good enough to win this. While he hasn't won in some starts, STILL THE SAME went very close two weeks ago. He looks better placed here and is well drawn. He must win one soon. LARRIKAN PRINCE placed his only time here. He will be put straight on the speed. This course might suit his style. READY TO GO GO runs again quickly after mostly good efforts. She deserves a go at this distance. LITTLE MISS TEE does need to be jumping better to take advantage of the draw. She could run a race if she does that. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Still The Same off the high last start rating.
