GOING: S(5)

LIQUOR CITY KALGOORLIE MAIDEN 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +4m entire.  

Shine And Burn to take up the running at a moderate tempo. ZED HOT EXPRESS (4) caught the eye last start in town when flashing home from the rear into a midfield finish. Will likely drift back again from the draw but is expected to be climbing over their backs late. Bold showing anticipated. SHINE AND BURN (2) has been better in her last two efforts without threatening the winner. Peaking now and gets in well with the claim. Just to overcome the wide gate and she should be right there at the business end. NEW HYMN SHEET (9) showed improvement here last start when closing off soundly into fourth. Is still lightly raced so is open to further improvement. If she can find that this looks within her grasp BEDOUIN VILLA (7) will be hoping for a change of fortune with a change of scenery. Drops back in trip off 58-day break and should find this a bit easier. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Zed Hot Express.
