Solid tempo set by Pin Deep and Tycoon Harry. AMAROO STAR (6) is a promising gelding that made progress as a 3-year-old and resumed with a game neck win here 9 days ago. This is only slightly tougher, and William Pike keeps the faith. Hard to beat again, especially with a kilo less to carry. TYCOON HARRY (4) hit his stride third up here a month ago and led all the way to score by nearly 3 lengths. He loves 1000m and will again take some pegging back. PIN DEEP (1) is not as effective on this track as he has been on other circuits, but he has still been placed twice from 8 starts and was less than 2 lengths from the winner when fifth here 9 days ago. Stick with him for all top 4 combos. SIMPLY THINKIN' (2) won 3 of her 6 starts last prep, and she has won a tune-up trial last month to help her get ready for her return. She has the pole position and has to be respected. SONOFTHEBOSS (3) will have the blinkers off this time, and he was only run down late here 4 weeks ago over 1200m. Stick with him. SUGGESTED PLAY: Amaroo Star can win again.

ADAM DURRANT 5YO B/BR MARE 59.0KG A G Durrant, L G Torpy, G Debski, M Sarich, Esquin (Mgr: S J Quinlivan) & F F Fairthorne Resuming after a break of five months. Finished off last campaign seventh of 11 at Pinjarra Grad Hcp 60+ August 9 over 1400m, soft track; 4.5 len behind Lombadina with 59kg at $5.50. When resuming last campaign second of 11 at this track Cl3 March 19 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Tawkin' Jibberish carrying 59.5kg at $6. This race is tougher than what she was up against last time in and hard to imagine she'll play a role in this. |
