Pinjarra   23 May 2018
 
GOING: G

Gwn7 Mdn 1413m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear   Rail: Out 5m.  

Speed anticipated from both Secret Target and Country Fox. Technical Limit and Lickety Split will be prominent early. LICKETY SPLIT just missed here 2U and keeps improving. Keeps Harvey and can break through using the low gate. QUEALLY was tracking like a winner before being caught wide LS with support. Gets the small claim and another chance. COSMIC REFLECTION was slow off and just missed 3U. That stacks up but she will have to do it from back again. HAPPY SANDAY can show his best 4U. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen to play both Happy Sanday and Lickety Split.
