TABTOUCH HAVE YOU GOT THE TOUCH HANDICAP 1113m

Track: Good 3   Clouds (Max: 27)   Rail: +4m Entire.  

Art Session and Spirit Man possess good early speed. ART SESSION (1) has been far from disgraced when tackling tougher opposition this prep, ignoring his run two back at Ascot. This looks a much easier assignment for him this time and he should be hitting his straps now fourth-up. Expect him to give a bold sight and prove very tough to reel in. TYCOON DEMON (3) has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot return to winning ways. DIAMOND TIPPED (2) returns and will be looking to emulate his win at Carnarvon at the beginning of last prep. Joseph See reunites and is unbeaten when partnering. Sure to be very competitive. CHEEKY CHARLOTTE (4) also resumes and is a noted fresh performer. Draws well and gets in well with the 3kg claimer engaged. Don't take lightly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Art Session to win.
