GOING: G(3)

GERALDTON TOYOTA HANDICAP 1100m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 32)   Rail: Out 2m Entire.  

Genuine tempo from Send It Son leading Raging Beauty. IDENTIFIER (5) has improved since making the move to a country trainer at the start of the year and has finished a couple of solid thirds since clearing his maiden status fresh up at the start of March. He was only a short-head back from the winner last time out and won't have to improve by much to be the winner in this. SAFE HUSTLE (1) put in a poor run by his standards last start but did have a tougher run than usual and can be forgiven that effort. He was at the improving stage of his prep before that and is worth another chance. QUEEN TIFFANY (3) is another who failed to fire in the same race as the second pick but did get too far early on from a wide gate that day. She was only beaten by a head on this track before that and is another who can bounce back into the money here. FROST DAVID (2) had to work too hard to find the front last start and faded out in the home stretch. His recent freshen-up would have done him no harm and from the ace draw here, he can figure in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Identifier to win.
