GOING: G(4)

TABTOUCH - HAVE YOU GOT THE TOUCH MAIDEN 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 29)   Rail: Out 12m Entire. (Pent: 7.1).  

Ortabearockstar has good gate speed and can overcome the wide alley to lead. BELTA OF A SONG (8) was only narrowly defeated at Pinjarra last time out, going under in a photo finish down the Straight course. Up to 1200m looks ideal for her now and she's drawn beautifully for Brad Parnham who sticks. Can go to another level now and shed the maiden tag. LIPS DON'T LIE (7) has made the move to WA after being trained by David Jolly in South Australia previously. While beaten 4.5L at her last start, the form out of the race was red-hot and she has trialled well recently at Lark Hill. Big tick with CJP engaged and she can take it right up to the top pick. CENTRE BOND (3) showed enough on debut when rattling home over the 1000m journey at Pinjarra. Looks as though he'll appreciate the rise in trip and can be prominent in the finish this time. DUTCH POR (4) missed the start on debut and was never a hope at Kalgoorlie. Has trialled nicely and can feature on resumption. MAJESTIC PRINCESS (14) gets the blinkers on first time and won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Belta Of A Song.
