GOING: S(5)

BARRAGUP SELF STORAGE HANDICAP 2200m

Track: SOFT 5     Rail: +3m Entire.  

Western Power should be able to comfortably find the front. ZAZA ROCK (4) has gone to another level since stepping up to this distance, winning by 1.3L at this trip most recently. She keeps raising the bar and Fiore hops back in the saddle this time around. Drops in weight for the rise in grade and can extend her unbeaten run. WESTERN POWER (3) sat on the speed over the mile at Belmont 21 days ago and sprinted away to score by 1.5L in a strong performance as an odds-on pop. CJP hops back in the saddle now and he steps right up to this trip for the first time. Wouldn't surprise to see him go to another level now. FAT ROY SLIM (1) has been behind Zaza Rock his past couple and is a course and distance winner in the past. Brad Parnham now hops on board and he meets Zaza Rock better at the weights this time. Can get the job done this time. TRIO (2) just needs to run out the trip but has the class to land the knockout blow. DUCHEES DEMERIT (5) an feature if he runs up to recent efforts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zaza Rock can win again.
