GOING: S(5)

TABTOUCH SCAN MY BET MAIDEN 1600m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Perfect Ruler leading the way. ANNIE WARBUCKS (6) just missed here last start at this track and trip when beaten as a $1.55 favourite. The inside barrier should see her close to the speed and the blinkers go on now. Ticks plenty of boxes and now that she's at peak fitness, she can get the job done. PERFECT RULER (2) is on the quick turnaround after leading the way and ending up 1.5L off the winner at Bunbury last week. Up in trip now, but he should be prominent from the inside barrier under Corver and with improvement expected, he'll take plenty of catching. MIDNIGHT STAR (10) was very impressive from the back on debut over 1200m and now rises to the mile for the first time. CJP rides now and she's expected to put her best foot forward. COUSIN MORTIMER (1) comes through the same race as Perfect Ruler where he jumped favourite. Up to the mile now which should suit and he won't be far away. LEAD CINGA (9) showed good improvement at this track and trip last start and is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Annie Warbucks can get the job done this time.
