TYLER CONTRACTING HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Good     Rail: True.  

Strong tempo from Wuhan Warrior, Talking Heads and Moorumbine. Wuhan Warrior, Talking Heads and Moorumbine can set a strong tempo. MOORUMBINE (1) is a durable, locally trained veteran who still has plenty of zest in his legs. He won fresh up at Geraldton in January and has been in the money in 2 subsequent starts there. A slight freshen up will do him no harm, and he can figure in the top 3 again. WUHAN WARRIOR (5) is another handy local resuming from a spell, and he usually comes to hand quickly, with 2 wins fresh up in the past to his credit. He might already be looking for more ground, but he should be hitting the line late. Include in all combinations. MAGIC OF ZEUS (2) is fresh up from a spell, and he has won on this track in the past. He might need it, but the market will be the best guide. ROCKSTAR STATUS (3) will be peaking third up, and if she can stay in touch to the turn, then she can produce a big finish. Watch closely, especially with the aid of a 4kg claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Moorumbine to win.
