GOING: F

GOODLINE PORT HEDLAND HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Fast     Rail: True.  

Plenty of pace from Military Jane, Royalzel and Ortum Krisp ahead of Marines Cry. MARINES CRY (5) was far too good at Roebourne last start when leading throughout and bolting in by 4.5L. She may need some luck from the outside barrier, though the claim sees her right down in the weights. She looks an improving type who can notch up back-to-back victories. IMPERIALIZE (3) stuck on fairly last start at Carnarvon when on the quick turnaround. Now a fortnight between runs, he looks to get his chance on the map and a return to his best form would see him hard to hold out. ROYALZEL (1) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track but couldn't back that up last start at Roebourne. She returns to the scene of the crime off a similar set up and there's no reason why she can't bounce back to winning ways. DEAL OBTAINED (4) is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Marine's Cry looks the one to beat.
