PERTH RACING NOW HIRING FOOD AND BEVERAGE STAFF PLATE 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 9m Entire.  

Strong early tempo over this journey looks a certainty. TRUE APOSTLE (1) may have peaked on the run fresh when beaten narrowly over this course and distance in Midweek company. He looks a horse destined for better races than that and plenty of improvement is expected now. Needs some luck from the alley, but he'll be hard to hold out if he gets it. ALL GRUNT (3) was a dominant 4.7L winner at Northam and booted away from his rivals to put up a good time in the process. The extra trip won't be an issue and he rates right up to this grade. Open to plenty of improvement and can go on with the job. BLUE ROCKET (2) is better than she showed first-up when peaking on the run late in the race. She'll be better out to this trip now and Pike taking the ride is a good sign. Raced well in Stakes grade last preparation and can get back to that level now. PERFECT CHANT (9) has been very impressive at the trials and can make an immediate impact. PHAROAH SHOW (5) won't be far away with the Blinkers going back on. SUGGESTED PLAY: True Apostle gets the nod.
