GOING: G

PINK MOON HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Good 34     Rail: True.  

Twelveunder is the likely leader at a strong tempo. ADDICTIVE DREAM (3) is fresh today and will be fitter for a recent trial. She's joined the Noske stable in the break after a down campaign when racing in tougher company. Likely to get back from the draw but her best form says she's good enough. SCENIC BOOM (6) is better than he showed last time out when sitting on the tempo over this trip at Geraldton. Back to 1100m seems a big tick and he'll carry no weight after the claim of Murray. Can sit handy and be hard to reel in. TWELVEUNDER (7) resumes here without a trial but she has been placed fresh in the past. She should be prominent from the outset and if she's up to the mark first-up, she'll be in this for a very long way. MRS KANGAROO (2) returns from a layoff of seven months. Scored over 1205m at Roebourne to launch the last campaign. Boasts a first-up record of two wins and two placings from six starts. Can make her presence felt. HOT PUDDIN (4) is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Addictive Dream.

Comes off a 44 day let-up. Most recently 7th of 10 at Geraldton Cl2 on February 19 over 1200m, 6 len behind Deep Discretion carrying 58kg at $51. The run before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 12 at Geraldton Cl2 on February 5 over 1100m, 2.25 len behind Yapper carrying 58kg at $61. Will find this a little easier than recent races and can land the knockout blow.
