JACK MARKS 2025 WA RACING HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: +9m Entire.  

Cracking tempo with Earth God and This'll Show Ya leading the way. EMPRESS OF INDIA (5) stuck on fairly last start at Pinjarra after just missing here two back. The form out of her last start has already been franked and she looks to get a lovely setup this time around. Wet track won't be an issue and she can get back to winning ways in a suitable race. MASAMUNE (2) dropped back to this trip last start and disappointed at Pinjarra, but was in better touch prior. Back around a bend today may help his chances and with no weight after the claim, he can bounce back. EARTH GOD (4) gets the blinkers on again today after a disappointing run at Pinjarra last time out. He'll need some luck from the draw, but he has plenty of early speed and he can bounce back to winning ways. LOST GRAVITY (8) draws to get his chance from a handy barrier and has the ratings to feature in the finish. THIS'LL SHOW YA (9) disappointed last start but can bounce back to her best with the drop in distance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Empress Of India gets the nod.
