GOING: G(4)

TABTOUCH - HAVE YOU GOT THE TOUCH MAIDEN 1600m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 39)   Rail: +13m Entire. (Pent: 6.40)  

Alnaud and Barra Mundy have the early speed and take leading roles. QUAGMIRE (3) was slowly away last start off a 56-day break and bumped into a smart one over the 1400m journey here. His run held plenty of merit though and stepping out to this trip looks ideal. Can take closer order this time and get the job done. BARRA MUNDY (1) disappointed last time out over 1800m, though he was racing in tougher company than this. His efforts in this grade prior were very good and he should be able to make his own luck up on the speed. Can get the job done. SHE'S PERFECTION (5) closed off strongly at Bunbury a fortnight ago when beaten 1.2L over the 1400m journey. She'll continue to get better as she rises in trip. Expected to be back in the run once more but can mow them down in the straight. GRINGO (4) has plenty of upside and showed good tenacity when sticking on a Pinjarra last time out. Should be near his top now and can make his presence felt. WOTUGOT (9) finally draws a barrier today and can improve on recent efforts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Quagmire goes on top.
