GOING: F

FINMEC HANDICAP 1300m

Track: FAST     Rail: True.  

A lack of early speed leaves it open for Chavorio to run them along. ONE ABOVE ALL (1) has won twice on this track in the past, which is a big advantage. He will find this easier than his recent assignments, and from the pole position, with the aid of a 3kg claim, he is the one to beat. CHAVORIO (2) will be peaking third up and is dropping down in class from her last start at Pinjarra. A form reversal is expected. FELLAFROMDOWNUNDER (3) will be resuming from a spell for a new trainer. He was third in a recent trial and is not out of this, especially in a small field. NOVATORIO (4) can mix her form and is very hard to catch. There will be no fitness concerns after having 4 runs back from a spell, and she is another with top 3 claims. KENTUCKY DREAM (5) is a handy gelding on his day, and he has been placed on this course in 3 of his 5 starts. A 4kg claim will help. Watch closely. SUGGESTED PLAY: One Above All to win.

Useful type. Last start second last of 10 at Pinjarra Cl3 on April 16 over 1600m, 5 len behind Redback Flyer with 57kg at $17. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 9 at Ascot Cl3 on April 2 over 1400m, 0.7 len behind Lova Session carrying 57kg at $41. Best form stacks up nicely so worth another chance.
