DANS QUALITY PAINTING AND DECORATING HANDICAP 1300m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

A solid tempo on the cards with Rogues Point taking charge. Competitive little affair this one, and looks to be a fair bit of speed engaged so expect an interesting tactical battle. RED REBEL (4) only just missed last time out and looks nicely placed to pounce for a deserved win third-up. ROEY CLAM (7) bested the top pick last start, leading the whole way, and is capable of fending them all off again when the whips are cracking. ROGUES POINT (2) resumes here and absolutely loves the racing at Broome. Brings something a bit different to most of these and is worth keeping safe. CRYSTAL VAIN (1) and STARRING KNIGHT (3) come through the same race as the top two and are next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Great little race here and we like Red Rebel to turn the tables on Roey Clam.
