TABTOUCH - BETTER YOUR BET HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

Soaring Solo to take charge ahead of Hillside Monarch at a good tempo. PRECAST (7) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since her run at Geraldton last start. Key runner on her best efforts. ADDICTIVE DREAM (3) improved last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1200m at Rockingham after being in contention on the corner. On her best form she is right in contention. CASINO ROYALE (4) returns and looks well placed back to this level. Has run well here without winning and boasts a win over this journey. Have to include. HILLSIDE MONARCH (5) returns from a spell of seven months and did score first-up when last in work at Geraldton over 1210m. Lines up for the first time for the Graeme Hammarquist stable. Placed in a recent trial. SUGGESTED PLAY: Precast to win.
