GOING: G(4)

ALCOA - BUILDING STRONG COMMUNITIES MAIDEN 1300m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 30)   Rail: Out 5m Entire.  

Off the inside draw Diamond Light should bounce straight to the lead and set a solid tempo. WATCH ME ROCK (5) resumes for a top metro barn and showed enough his initial preparation to say this is winnable. Pike is reunited and he owns a Lark Hill trial win. Will be naturally improved and take beating. DIAMOND LIGHT (12) rates the quinella building on the near miss at Scarpside when she surprised the market. She will be fitter again and can control the race jumping from the rails gate. Will give a sight. DEVILS I (6) was tacking okay before the flop at Narrogin over a longer trip. CJP goes on today for the apprentice and he can find a place. DEEP DISCRETION (13) was good on debut and will be better for the first-up outing. A minor hope as well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Watch Me Rock.
