GOING: G

PLATINUM LOGISTICS HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

Star Hostess to take charge ahead of Shasfa at a solid tempo. FIRE THE GUARD (2) stepped up in trip last start and bolted in, scoring by 3.3L as the race favourite. Back in trip today, though he has performed well over the short course in the past. Shouldn't be too far off in the run and looks the one to beat. STAR HOSTESS (7) is ticking along nicely without winning, sitting up on the speed throughout and was only caught late over 1100m here last start. Drawn to find the front again this time and if he'll be tough to run down. TORQUED UP (1) hasn't been far away since winning at Carnarvon back in June, finishing 1L off the winner at Roebourne most recently. Back to 1000m today is the query, but he's well-placed in this grade and the 3kg claim comes in handy. SHASFA (6) is better than she showed last start at Port Hedland and can bounce back dropping in trip. LIGHTNING GOLD (5) is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fire The Guard on top in the opener.
