GOING: S(5)

GILL SMASH REPAIRS HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: +5m Entire.  

Solid tempo with Nistirith to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. STYLIN' (3) stormed home over the top to win easily at this track last start off a 49 day break. Back slightly in trip may be the query, but the stable strike jockey Tash Faithfull hops on board and this shapes similarly to last start. Can repeat the dose as she looks to have plenty of upside. DANCEWITHME (2) will find this a lot easier than his last start where she missed by 3.4L in a Saturday race at Ascot. May end up back in the run from a tricky draw, but Cooper's claim comes in handy and she'll appreciate this level. Can bounce back to winning ways. NISTIRITH (6) is hard to knock on recent form, missing by 2.6L last start after a good start to her campaign. She has enough speed to roll across from the draw after going under as the favourite last time out. Will be tough to reel in. SLIPPERY FISH (4) missed fresh without a trial and should be much improved for that effort. Can be in the finish. MARGOT'S BULLSEYE (9) can play a leading role on resumption. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stylin' looks the one to beat.

Most recently ran last of 10 at this track Cl1 on April 12 over 1200m, 6 len behind Stylin' with 60kg at $41. The start before that ran last of 12 at Esperance Prov Series on March 1 over 1100m, 10 len behind Meat Pie Artie carrying 56kg at $41. Confidence low and looks safely held.

Last start raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 10 at Ascot Grad Hcp 60+ on April 18 over 1000m, slow going 3.5 len behind Kings Court carrying 52kg at $4.80. The start before that 4th of 10 at Pinjarra Cl1 on March 22 over 1200m, 1.4 len behind Roaming America with 58kg at $2.30. Well placed. Will find this a little easier and she can bounce back to form on the quick turnaround.

The run before that 5th of 10 at Pinjarra Scarpside Cl3 F&M on February 22 over 1400m, 4 len behind Elegant Indi with 55.5kg at $8. Looks a filly on the rise and she can get the job done again.

Second-up. Promising on debut tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 1.0 len at this track Mdn October 19 over 1200m defeating Vain Universe carrying 56kg at $5. Returned from break raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 10 at this track Cl2 on April 3 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind Chipilly with 58kg at $7. Gets plenty in her favour and can't be discounted with the fresh run under her belt.

Form hard to fault. Most recently sat on the pace when 3rd of 10 at this track Cl1 on April 12 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Stylin' carrying 57.5kg at $2.70. The race before that favourite; won by 1.2 len at this track Mdn April 3 over 1100m defeating Spangledstar carrying 55.5kg at $1.80. Hard to knock her recent form and she can play a leading role once again.
