GOING: G

STATE WIDE TURF SERVICES MAIDEN 2000m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Moderate tempo with King Of The Town leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. KING OF THE TOWN (7) missed in a photo two back before a 1.5L defeat when leading on the Scarpside here last time out. He now steps out to 2000m for the first time, but that doesn't look an issue with how he stuck on last start. The form out of that run has been impressive, Pike rides now and he looks the one to beat. MACHO ARQUERO (1) bumped into a good winner two back before a 3.8L defeat most recently over 1920m at York. He's a long-standing maiden, but his recent efforts stack up well in this field. Fiore rides from an inside draw and now the Norton Bit goes on for the first time. Can be in the finish once again. MR FRODO (5) disappointed two back but returned to something like his best form last start when beaten 2.9L after jumping the favourite at Albany over the mile. Out to this trip for the first time now, but he's got a solid grounding and he can be in the mix. OBSCENTINO (2) has to be included on his recent lad. ROCKING IN BROOME (8) is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: King Of The Town goes on top.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 2nd of 9 at Pinjarra Scarpside Mdn on April 27 over 1600m, 1.5 len behind Midnight Star carrying 56kg at $2.15. The start before that sat on the pace when 2nd of 14 at Pinjarra Scarpside Mdn on April 15 over 1400m, nose behind Effortlessly carrying 55.5kg at $9. Close to a win. Can go one better this time around with Pike on board replacing the apprentice.
