GOING: G

GLENROY CHAFF MAIDEN 1800m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 34)   Rail: +11m Entire. (Pent: 7.30)  

Genuine pace with Final Call taking up the running ahead of Mad Spitfire and Giles. FINAL CALL (5) should be at his peak fitness now third-up and getting out in trip looks a good move. While he's been run down his past couple, he'll be able to dictate from the front up in trip and he won't have to work as hard early this time around. Can notch up his maiden victory. PEMBETON (8) finished off well over the 1400m at Belmont last start when tackling stronger company, finishing 0.5L off the winner. On the quick turnaround today as he steps up in trip for the first time. His recent efforts suggest it should suit and it wouldn't surprise to see him go one better. VEXATIOUS ROSE (13) flew home over 2000m at Pinjarra last time out, going under by 1.8L after jumping the odds-on favourite. She's likely to be back from the draw again today as she comes back in trip, but she's sure to be flashing late. MACHO ARQUERO (1) is racing well and has to be included on recent efforts. ROCKING IN BROOME (9) was massive on debut at big odds and is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Final Call gets the nod.

Recent form sound. Last start made significant ground from the rear of the field 2nd of 12 at Pinjarra Mdn on November 30 over 2000m, 1.3 len behind Rebelnado with 58kg at $12. The race before that made significant ground from the rear of the field 2nd of 12 at Belmont Park Mdn on November 19 over 2100m, 0.8 len behind Fulmine with 58kg at $12. Ticks plenty of boxes and can make his presence felt.
