GOING: G

TAMBREY LIQUOR BARONS MAIDEN 1406m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

In a race without an obvious leader, either Living Like Kings or Harry The Prince can roll them along. LIVING LIKE KINGS (1) kept up to his task gamely at Port Hedland fresh up a week ago for a new trainer and held on gamely for second. He strips fitter, and if this run has not come too soon for him, then he can go one better. ORIENTAL FLYER (2) was only third in a 4-horse field here 2 weeks ago and was not knocked around late. The extra 303m third up will suit him, and with the aid of a 4kg claim, he can get the job done in a modest field like this. MAKE DE FORTUNE (6) has changed stables since finishing fifth at Albany a month ago. She will find this company more to her liking and should figure in the top 3 this time. DIVERSE (5) has not really improved at all since joining a new stable 2 starts ago. She has the pole position and 4kg less to carry this time, and could fall into a dividend-bearing place if everything goes her way. POWER TROOPER (3) ran a slightly better race for fourth when making his debut for a new stable. The extra furlong could help, so include him as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed trifecta Living Like Kings, Oriental Flyer and Make De Fortune.
