GOING: G(4)

PRE/POST WA RACING COVERAGE ALL FREE ON 7PLUS HANDICAP 1650m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 12m Entire. (Pent: 6.7).  

Decoration to take up the running with Missile Storm and Prince I Think close at hand. DECORATION (1) was on the 7-day back up when beaten a nostril last start over 1400m. Getting back onto a firmer surface should suit and Chris Parnham remaining in the saddle is a positive sign. Can improve again now out to this trip and he can go one better today. MISSILE STORM (4) got the job done by 0.5L over the mile at Northam last time out and put up a strong rating there. He draws to get his chance once again for Brad Parnham and if he can run up to what he did last start, he'll go close to winning. MASTER TACTICIAN (2) is better than he showed last start, finishing 4.6L off the winner over a longer trip last time out. Back to this level and drawing a better gate are two big ticks for him. Can bounce back in a big way. ZERO CONSEQUENCE (5) disappointed last start but was better in his first two runs this time in. Can bounce back. WOZZECK (3) can improve second-up and put his best foot forward. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Decoration.
