TABTOUCH CARNARVON CUP 13TH SEPTEMBER HANDICAP 1200m

Track: AW     Rail: True.  

The Coolakin King should find the front with Mrs Kangaroo and Simple Logic on his heels. SIMPLE LOGIC (3) finished off strongly when right back to 1000m last start, jumping the favourite and missing by 1.7L. 1200m looks his sweet spot, going close in a stronger race here three starts back. Faithfull has options from the draw and he looks the one to beat. BIG SHOTS (1) is on the way back from Broome where he wasn't far away his past couple, including last start in stronger company. The 3kg claim comes in handy and his best figures stand out in this field. Can make his presence felt. THE COOLAKIN KING (2) won impressively two back but couldn't repeat the dose when back to 1000m here last time out. Up to 1200m is a big tick and the claim of Cheung helps, particularly with his racing pattern. He'll be hard to run down. MRS KANGAROO (7) hasn't been far away lately and is not to be discounted. WISE WORDS (5) is better than she showed last time out and can return to form. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Simple Logic.

Before that came from midfield; 2nd of 10 at Broome Rtg 58+ on July 25 over 1100m, 0.5 len behind Universal Playboy carrying 60kg at $11. Not far away last time. Hard to beat on his best form.

At the latest run raced on the speed throughout before fading 8th of 12 at this track Rtg 64+ on August 17 over 1000m, 3 len behind Soaring Solo carrying 58.5kg at $9.50. The run before that won by 3.5 len at Roebourne Settler Spr 67+ July 26 over 1205m defeating Fameux with 56kg at $5.50. Certainly worth another chance.

At the latest run 9th of 11 at this track Rtg 56+ on August 17 over 1200m, 9 len behind Cheeky Charlotte with 55kg at $41. The start before that didn't do much in the run home; 6th of 11 at this track Rtg 56+ on August 1 over 1200m, 8 len behind Gold Spy with 52kg at $18. Unlikely to threaten.

Resuming after a 23 months break. Finished off last campaign seventh of 10 at Geraldton Cl2 October 5 2023 over 1413m, 6 len behind Albert carrying 57kg at $51. On debut with blinkers first time; ninth of 12 at Northam Mdn November 16 2022 over 1100m, 12 len behind Deetea with 56.5kg at $101. Might be better off following this run.
