Pinjarra   23 May 2018
 
GOING: G

Pink Duck Beach Bar Bistro-C3 1500m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear   Rail: Out 5m.  

Speed anticipated from Costa Oeste, Friarandice, Midnight Banquet and Patchirac. Mater Remedy the likely leader. SUPERIOR SMILE won at Ascot three back and hasn’t been far away in stronger since. Draws low and races handy and can win with the claim. THE RAKE will be better for the FU run and has placed 2/2 2U. Pike going on suggest he’s ready to fire. FAULTY will likely cross and expect the Albany form to stack up. KHAWAJA draws low and is racing well enough to play a major part. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen to play both Faulty and Khawaja.
