Tabtouch Wspeed Platinum-Rs0ly 1400m

Track: SOFT 6   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 3m Entire.  

Castillo Del Lago and Success Play like to be right on speed, Forever Dreaming can settle closer and Al Di La goes forward from a wide gate. FOREVER DREAMING (6) found the line in good style when resuming over 1200m and will appreciate the extra ground in this. Can settle handier and is hard to beat. CURRIMUNDI (7) was a popular second-up winner at Pinjarra and is ready for the rise in class. Draws the inside and will be around the mark. SUCCESS PLAY (4) enjoyed a nice run and converted it into a strong win over this course last week. No reason he can't be in the finish again. FLICKA'S CHANCE (3) and ARNIE'S BOY (2) are worth forgiving for their last runs. SUGGESTED PLAY: Forever Dreaming to win. Box trifecta 2,3,4,6,7.
