GOING: G(4)

MCA POLYTRACK PLATE 1200m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: +7m Entire.  

Tricky one to map with a number of debutants but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. Time for the 2YO's now and SNITZALATTE (11) can repeat the dose following an impressive debut win over 1000m here 17 days ago. She was $1.70 there and was very strong late in the race, so suspect the rise in trip won't be an issue. Can bring up back-to-back victories. HARD SOLO (10) is race fit and knocking on the door of a maiden win, finishing 2.3L off the winner most recently. He just missed two back over this trip at Bunbury and she maps for a great run. Ticking along nicely and should be right around the mark once again. STATEWIDE (1) was strong on debut over 1000m here, finishing off impressively from the back. Blinkers go on now and his two trials coming in have looked good. Can sit closer this time and put himself right in the finish. CAWARRA (13) jumped favourite on debut but the draw is a big niggle this time. Looks to have ability though and is worth including. HASANI (6) has looked good at the trials coming in and can play a role. SUGGESTED PLAY: Snitzalatte can bring up back-to-back wins.
