GOING: G(4)

TABTOUCH PAST THE POST MAIDEN 2200m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: True. (Pent: 7.30)  

Moderate tempo with Yalda Night leading the way. PRETEY ROYAL (6) brings two narrow defeats and gives every indication that the step up to the middle distance will suit. She's on a 7-day backup, and Chris Parnham rides for the first time. Fit and ready to win. CHOICE ATTRACTION (7) improved beaten 2L at Bunbury over 2000m. Has the blinkers on again and can make the finish in a weak contest. ROYAL TROOPER (2) has laid a decent foundation for this contest and gets in light again with the 4kg claim. He's on a 7-day return, as is LYN'S STAR (5), who needed the first-up outing, and the trip wouldn't bother her at best. Has the ability, but stepping straight up from a sprint is the question. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Pretey Royal.
