GOING:

TABTOUCH - HAVE YOU GOT THE TOUCH MAIDEN 1800m

Track:   Clear (Max: 28)   Rail: +13m Entire.  

A keen contest with Agrabah and Elegant Indi leading from Parish Prince. JACKPOT BINGO (3) ran on nicely last time out to finish third over 1600m at Pinjarra, beaten 2.5 lengths. He has yet to fire in 5 starts on this track but is a lot stronger this year and will relish stepping out to 1800m for the first time. Can win. ALITTLE SCOONER (5) finished a solid fifth last start after being in contention on the corner over 1600m at Pinjarra. He cops a wide gate but will be suited by an extra furlong, and William Pike keeps the ride. Stick with him. AGRABAH (1) is heading the right way with his form and stuck to his task gamely when finishing runner-up at Pinjarra 2 weeks ago. He has been trying to win a race for some time, and can go one better. ELEGANT INDI (11) was third fresh up here and then ran on too late over 1400m at Pinjarra 2 weeks ago. She is peaking at the right time, and with an extra 400m to travel, she can figure in the top 3 this time. MAKE DE FORTUNE (12) will be peaking third up and has the blinkers on for the first time. Include in all bets. SUGGESTED PLAY: Elegant Indi each-way.
