GOING: S(5)

ARC THANKS ALL LIFE MEMBERS & MEMBERS FOR 23/24 HANDICAP 1900m

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

Sir Bear A Lot should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. RED WITH TED (2) has been racing well and is suited over this journey. Comes back from Kalgoorlie and gets the nod. SIR BEAR A LOT (3) deserved the easy maiden win over 1500m. Peaks now and will enjoy a soft run from the rails gate. He should run out the extra 400m with a judicious ride. DEADLY AND FAST (1) rates best but has to come back 1200m from the rich Jerrico Cup WA Qualifier. It's an ask but this isn't strong. ARROW SONG (4) has been racing in stronger and can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Red With Ted.
