GOING: G

TABTOUCH NEWMAN SPRINT 1200m

Track: Good     Rail: True.  

Not a great deal of pressure likely in the small field, with Bin Shalaa a potential leader. CHOIXWAY (2) was far from his best last start at Broome but his form prior stacks right up. The drop back in trip is a plus and he draws to get all the favours. Similar story for BIN SHALAA (1) who can be forgiven for a poor effort last time out. This looks more suitable and he shapes as one of the key hopes. OREGON HIKER (3) hasn't threatened in his last two but if he recaptures his earlier form in the prep, he's among the chances. Only a small field this time, so shouldn't find any bad luck. CLOSE TALKER (4) backs up quickly off a disappointing Broome effort. Same as the other three, there's form there that puts her right in the finish. Yuill piloting is a good push. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Choixway.

At the latest run 7th of 9 at Port Hedland Richardson Spr on August 3 over 1200m, 9 len behind Border Control with 56.5kg at $7. The start before that eased back early on 6th of 10 at Carnarvon Minilya Sprint on July 20 over 1200m, 10 len behind Dirty Chai with 58.5kg at $9. Sure to be competitive with so few opponents.

Most recently got back early 8th of 10 at Broome Pearl Classic on August 16 over 1300m, 8 len behind Commissions carrying 55.5kg at $16. Before that held ground to the line 3rd of 11 at Broome Cl2 on August 2 over 1300m, 5 len behind Spice Is Right carrying 59.5kg at $6.50. Likely to find this out of reach.
