GOING: G(4)

ARC HONOUR AUSTRALIAN SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN HANDICAP 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 2m Entire.  

In the small field Demito or Romero should find the front. DEMITO (3) is looking for the hat-trick after an impressive 1.2L victory at Narrogin last time out. She's in great form at the moment and was a strong winner at this track and trip two starts back. Should be prominent from the draw again and take plenty of catching. ROMERO (6) had been ticking along nicely down the Pinjarra straight before a disappointing effort most recently. His record at the trip is a niggle, but his figures from recent starts stack up nicely. Can bounce back and be in the finish. BLUE LINE (1) is better than he showed last time out and getting back to this trip may hold the key. Chris Parnhan hops in the saddle which is a positive sign and this is a much easier race than what he contested last start. Won't be far away. BITOVEMU (5) finished behind Demito better at the weights this time and has claims from a nice alley. DYNAMITE BAY (2) can bounce back dropping back to this distance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Demito.
