GOING: G(4)

PKF PERTH HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 5m Entire.  

Keen battle for the lead between Happy As Larry, Bondi Plunge and Cool Memory in advance of New Music and Right To Silence. ON PATROL (4) finished with a head full of steam second-up and just missed, beaten 0.2L over 1400m. The rise in trip looks ideal now and he's drawn to settle a touch closer from gate 2. Campbell takes 2kgs off and if he can improve again third-up, he should be getting the job done. BONDI PLUNGE (7) has been very consistent through this campaign and now stretches to the mile which could suit. Only a length behind On Patrol last time out and she maps for the run of the race from an inside alley. Expecting her to be right in the finish. FLY WITH CAUTION (1) is looking for the hat-trick after a big win over 1400m here last time out. Steve Parnham taking the ride is a big tick and he keeps improving with every run this time in. Lightly raced and still has more to come. WARRALEA LASS (9) was just a cut above at Albany last start and won't be far away in this tougher assignment. COOL MEMORY (3) is racing well without winning and is worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: On Patrol can can get back into the winners stall.
