GOING: G(4)

WITTENS IRRIGATION & DESIGN MAIDEN HANDICAP 1500m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

The speedy Blow Back should find the front with The Man Himself and Maximum Impact on his heels. BLOW BACK (2) was tested in Metro company first-up when a 5-1 chance, but he never really featured when tiring. This is much easier and he'll be fitter for the first-up run. Needs some luck from the draw, but he should be winning this if he can recapture his best form. ROYAL TROOPER (9) gets the blinkers on first time today following a poor run at Northam last start when never getting into the race. He may be able to sit a touch closer today and if he can bounce back to his prior form, he'll give a big sight. BIONDO (1) has a host of gear changes today as he looks to recapture his best form. He draws well with Carbery hopping in the saddle and he won't be far away. MAXIMUM IMPACT (14) has had a few goes now but has run well here previously and had claims. LIVING LIKE KINGS (6) wasn't beaten far at Collie and is worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Blow Back goes on top.
