GOING: G

ROEBUCK PLAINS ROADHOUSE HANDICAP 1435m

Track: Good     Rail: True.  

Only a small field with Commissions likely to find a comfortable lead. PRIVATE SAPLING (3) tried hard here 2 weeks ago and probably needed the run, finishing third. He has less time between starts here and will be close to his peak fitness. Hard to beat. COMMISSIONS (1) was racing with some good results in South Australia earlier in the year and should have no problem measuring up to his sort of company. If he is ready, then he can take this out. CHEDDAR BOB (4) had a tough trip and needed the run fresh up here a fortnight ago. He has a superior gate this time, and the extra 235m is ideal. The blinkers come off, and he will finish a lot closer. KINGS CALL (2) made an encouraging debut from a new stable and was only beaten by a head when finishing third. He slides down a grade and will be right in the finish again. SCHUHBECK (5) had his first start from a new stable and finished runner-up. He was tried in front that day and will be hard to peg back again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Quinella Private Sapling and Commissions.

Last start 2nd in a small field at this track Cl2 on May 24 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Shoulder Patch with 57.5kg at $6.50. The race before that second last of 10 at Ascot Cl3 on April 2 over 1400m, 5 len behind Hymns Of Eladdair with 56kg at $51. Nice effort last time. Finds a suitable race and should play a big role.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up eased back early on 6th of 9 at Albany Mdn on April 27 over 1230m, on a slow track; 8 len behind Puro with 56kg at $41. Second run from a spell ran last of 9 at this track Rtg 58+ on May 24 over 1300m, 14 len behind Deal Obtained carrying 54kg at $101. Doubt he will trouble these.
