GOING: S(7)

TABTOUCH WESTSPEED PLATINUM HANDICAP 1600m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: +9m Entire.  

Plenty of pace from Buckland, Cashmere Kid and Beats Of War ahead of Asphalt. ASPHALT (1) seeks the hat trick off spacious, heavily-supported wins over 1400m. He just missed his only start over a mile, and despite the weight increase he should have these well-covered. MASTER TACTICIAN (4) improved again when winning at Bunbury and then found a heavy track there, and the wide barrier didn't help either. He can sit closer today, and a much better effort is likely. CANNY JACK (5) spiked his figures narrowly beaten at Pinjarra. It was a big effort after settling last, and he is back in grade. Doubt the inside barrier will assist, but he can make the frame if things go his way. BEST MOOD (3) has some decent numbers over sprints. He's given away big starts in his two runs this preparation and may be looking for this trip now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Asphalt is hard to go past.

Racing well recently. Most recently gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 10 at Bunbury All Weather Cl3 on July 17 over 1800m, long-neck behind Why Me carrying 53kg at $6.50. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at Bunbury All Weather Cl3 on July 3 over 1500m, 3 len behind Lano with 51.5kg at $11. Near miss last start. Deserves consideration.
