GOING: S

THEM EARTHMOVING HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD4     Rail: True.  

Strong pace from Mrs Kangaroo matching motors with Speaking Swahili close at hand. TINY'N'TUFF (3) was asked to do too much at Carnarvon last time out when trapped wide throughout and that effort is best ignored. She has a much better draw this time and is down in class. An improved effort can be expected and a win would be no surprise in this lineup. HEARTFORD HOUSE (2) won a trial before his last start at Carnarvon where he only whacked away, finishing near the rear, and he should be a lot sharper this time with only 6 days between starts. He drops a couple of classes for this assignment and won't be far away. Stick with him. SPEAKING SWAHILI (4) had an excuse for finishing last at Pinjarra most recently after getting his tongue over the bit which affected his breathing. He will find this company more to his liking and will relish the extra furlong. A form reversal is on the cards. Don't drop him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Speaking Swahili each way.
