GOING: G(4)

RACING WA NOW ON 7PLUS HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 12m Entire. (Pent: 6.7).  

A solid tempo on the cards with The Top Bar heading them off. JACKPOT BINGO (2) was strong on resumption in 3YO Open company in Saturday grade 11 days ago, beaten just 1L. Fitter for that effort and back to midweek company are both big ticks. He'll need some luck from the alley, but he rates highly and he'll be hard to hold out if the breaks come. THE TOP BAR (1) has been a model of consistency this time in work, finishing just 0.5L off the winner in this grade most recently. Out to this trip again where he was placed just three starts back, but he's a fitter horse now. Should find the front and take catching. SNIPPY SEAN (6) should be at his peak now third-up and Chris Parnham takes the ride. He showed good early speed last start so they may press on again from an awkward alley. Still has upside and is not to be discounted. ROYAL TROOPER (5) now gets Pike in the saddle from a better draw and up in trip. He ticks plenty of boxes. AH KUM (3) closed off well last time out and has claims back to this easier company. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jackpot Bingo goes on top.
