GOING: N

TEAM BOND 3YO PEARL CLASSIC HEAT 2 MS PACE 2130m

Track: GOOD      

ICE COLD SAPPORO (4) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 2185m at Pinjarra, finishing second and just 1.5 metres from the winner. Leading hope based on that recent effort. CAPTAINS CREEK (2) was 1.5 metres away in third at Pinjarra over 2185m last start at his first run back from a spell. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position and rates a big chance in a similar assignment. PAINT THE PALETTE (6) is looking to improve on his last-start third in a Group Three contest won by Cyclone Jordy over 2130m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Sure to prove hard to beat. SEASIDE MAGIC (1) is looking to improve on his last-start eighth behind Cyclone Jordy at Group Three level over 2130m here a week-and-a-half ago. Ideally drawn and can play a big role.
