GOING: G(4)

GREAT WESTERN INSURANCE BROKERS HANDICAP 1413m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 5m Entire.  

No obvious leader in a race that lacks much early pressure on paper. PULL THE TRIGGER (2) was an impressive maiden winner at this track and trip before going to town at the end of last campaign. Disappointed there, but was at the pointy end of the market and the form out of that was good. Fitter for two trials coming in and he was placed first-up last campaign. Hard to beat. ODIN OMEN (9) hasn't been far away of late and should appreciate getting back out to this trip and in easier company. He hasn't won for a while, but he's been racing at a higher level than this. Will be back in the run, but watch for him storming home late. MOONIEMIA (6) was long odds fresh and ran accordingly, though the form out of that race has been red hot. He now draws well second-up and out in distance. Ticks a few boxes and can be right in the thick of the action. BUTTERFLYROCK (1) won't be far away if she can pick up where she left off last campaign. DADIRRA (10) is best of the rest out to this trip now. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pull The Trigger looks very well placed.
