GOING: S(5)

QUAYCLEAN - WA SIRES PRODUCE STAKES 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: Out 7m Entire.  

Pace genuine with Bustling and Battle Commander pressing hard closely followed by Blue Rocket and Big Shots. Time for the Sirs Produce now where Karrakatta Plate winner BUSTLING (1) is all the rage. Backed off the map and bolted in by 4.2L with the time comparable to The Quokka on the same card. Has the pace to cross and lead from the draw and he should prove too good again. BLUE ROCKET (8) gets Pike in the saddle after a gutsy performance in the Karrakatta behind Bustling to finish third. Drawn to sit just off the hot pot and should put up a good fight if he doesn't see out the trip. GOLDEN KATHLEEN (9) looks to have plenty in her favour today, drawing an inside barrier and getting the winkers on first time. Can sit much closer than she has been and her runs have suggested this trip won't be an issue. Started second pick in the Karrakatta and should be in the finish again. BIG SHOTS (2) was off 63 days heading into the Karrakatta and should be better for that run. SUGGESTED PLAY: It's all about Bustling in the Sires Produce.
