FARMER JACKS SUPERMARKET HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

Genuine tempo from Cash Flow leading Choice Bid. EIN STEIN (1) hasn't won for a while, though he is knocking on the door following a 0.3L defeat here last time out. Faithfull replaces the apprentice hoop and she's won aboard the gelding previously. Should land in a handy position and if he can run up to his recent effort, he'll be hard to hold out. CASH FLOW (2) can sit on the speed from a good barrier and the drop in trip looks a smart play after failing to see out the mile at Northam last week. He'll likely find this easier than recent efforts and a return to his best form would see him hard to hold out. WAR TACTICS (6) bounced back to form last time out with a 1.1L defeat when sitting closer in the run. He draws a better gate again this time and should get a similar run in transit. Expecting him to be right in the finish. LATHAMS WISH (8) resumes for the new barn today and will appreciate this grade. CHOICE BID (3) is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Ein Stein goes on top.

Last start failed to make an impression; ran last of 10 at Northam Cl1 on July 24 over 1600m, on a slow track; 13 len behind Heavenly Lady with 58.5kg at $10. The run before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 7th of 12 at Pinjarra Cl1 on July 9 over 1400m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Noble Connection carrying 59kg at $14. Better than that last run suggests and looks poised to bounce back.

Racing well recently. Most recently 3rd of 10 at Roebourne Cl3 on July 26 over 1205m, 2 len behind Make Mine Super with 58.5kg at $7.50. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at Port Hedland Rtg 56+ on July 13 over 1300m, 1.5 len behind Shooting Kontiki carrying 55.5kg at $4.60. Big chance on his best form.

At the latest run ran last in a small field at Marble Bar Rtg 56+ on July 5 over 1200m, 14 len behind Fameux with 54kg at $12. The start before that came home strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 7 at Port Hedland Rtg 54+ on June 1 over 1200m, 5 len behind Royalzel with 54.5kg at $19. Others look to have a bit more upside and looking elsewhere.

Second run from a spell 9th of 11 at this track Rtg 56+ on July 11 over 1200m, 12 len behind Big Cities with 53kg at $21. Out of his depth.
