GOING: F

RAY WHITE CARNARVON HANDICAP 1200m

Track:     Rail: True.  

A solid tempo anticipated with Romero and Exporose ahead of Wise Words and Lacevinsky. EXPOROSE (4) ended up midfield last start and resented the kick back at her first time on this course. She had led in her previous efforts, so expect Faithfull to adopt those tactics this time around with her form last campaign stacking right up. She can return to winning ways. AROOCHACHA (6) resumed with a dominant win over this track and trip a fortnight ago, blending into the race nicely and pulling away to score by 2.2L. He carries no weight again after the claim of Tsang and if he can run up to that performance, he'll go close to winning again. ROMERO (8) led them up here last start over 1000m and just faded late in the race. His second-up record isn't the best, though he's never been tried over this track and trip and he maps well. Can put his best foot forward. GENERAL KNOWLEDGE (2) hasn't been far away in recent efforts and the rise to 1200m is no issue. Can be in the finish again. WISE WORDS (3) boasts a good record at this track and trip and has to be included. SUGGESTED PLAY: Exporose can return to winning ways.

Second-up. First-up after three months ran on from midfield and won by 2.25 len at this track Rtg 56+ June 13 over 1200m defeating Lacevinsky with 51kg at $14. Previously second-up 7th of 12 at Geraldton Cl2 on December 27 over 1100m, 6 len behind On The Mark carrying 58kg at $13. Only needs to hold that form to be winning again. Terrific chance to make it 2/2 this prep.

Second-up. First-up after nine months ran last of 11 at this track Rtg 56+ on June 13 over 1200m, 11 len behind Aroochacha with 55.5kg at $31. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and won by 1.75 len at this track Rtg 56+ August 4 over 1200m defeating Bolta with 55kg at $15. Fitter now and is a second-up winner in the past but still hard to get enthused.
