GOING: S(6)

RACING WA NOW ON 7PLUS HANDICAP 1400m Track: GOOD 4 Rain (Max: 16) Rail: Out 2m Entire.
Small field that lacks a pacemaker so a modest tempo is likely. STORMAGEDDON (1) just missed last start at Belmont in tougher company and looks well placed in this event. ZJP hops in the saddle and claims 3kg, having him nicely weighted in the small field. The step out to 1400m is a big tick and he can go one better this time around. SNIPPY SEAN (4) scored an impressive win last start to shed the maiden tag in a strong race at Belmont. He draws a better gate this time around which should see him sit closer in the run. Chris Parnham remains in the saddle and he can repeat the dose without surprising. IRONCLAD BOY (2) resumed with a good win in Maiden grade first-up and he looks to have turned the corner this time in work. Will be back in the run, but he'll go close if he can improve on what he did first-up. KINGS SICARIO (3) has disappointed of late, though he is better than that. Expecting him to bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stormageddon can go one better this time.
1	2x212	STORMAGEDDON MICHAEL GRANTHAM 4YO BAY GELDING 60.0KG Peters Investments Pty Ltd (Mgr: R J Peters) Last start ran on from midfield; 2nd of 12 at Belmont Park Cl3 on September 18 over 1200m, long-neck behind Prospector's Pick carrying 58kg at $4.50. Before that came from midfield and won by a nose at Northam Mdn August 29 over 1300m on a rain affected track defeating Belta Of A Song with 58kg at $1.70. Rates highly and can get back to winning ways in this suitable event.	2 ZEPHEN JOHNSTON-PORTER

Good win fresh and there's no reason why he can't repeat the dose.	5 CLINT JOHNSTON-PORTER
