GOING: G

RAY WHITE CARNARVON HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Good     Rail: True.  

Just a moderate tempo headed by Violent, Hillside Monarch and Addictive Dream. VIOLENT (6) was runner-up on debut then raced on speed and drew clear for a maiden win here last time. Has upside and looks a top chance again. HOT NOVA (7) is fitter for two runs back and looks close to a win after a second this grade here last time. Sure to go close. RIVER BEAUTY (5) turned in a fine effort to score by 1.4 lengths at this course and distance last start in a much improved run. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. HILLSIDE MONARCH (3) settled well back last start and never threatened when eighth over 1000m at this track. Fitter and better than that. Can atone. CASINO ROYALE (2) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at this track over 1000m, beaten 0.9 lengths. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. In the mix over the longer journey. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Violent.
