GOING: G(4)

SOMETHING PINK BREAST CANCER AWARENESS HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Despite the small field Talk It Up, Treasured Queen and Baalbek will set a genuine tempo. Cracking race and they're all in the mix. SCOTTISH LAIRD (6) won here last start by a length and finds the right race to follow up in. Stick with. TREASURED QUEEN (5) narrowly beat home BAALBEK (3) in similar to this last time at the track on June 29, and there's barely a struck match between the pair again today. That form must be respected. ZING TO WIN (2) came through the same race and was only 1.75 len off the winner. Also goes in the mix. SUPPORTIVE (7) is an interesting runner resuming, she's capable of putting together a strong performance fresh. TALK IT UP (1) is tough to assess off seven months and just one run last campaign, but his best would have him around the mark here. HIGH PRESSURE (4) also not without some claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Scottish Laird to get the job done again.
