GOING: S(7)

COUNTRY TO COAST WESTERN WEAR CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 7   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +9m 1100m-W/Post, +6m Remainder.  

Little early speed on offer so Tango Queen should be prominent. PARIAH ENGAGEMENT (4) drifted well back first up and strips fitter into this. Upside type suited slightly back in trip. MISS SPACEGIRL (1) is proving costly to follow but has the right form to run well again. Ideally drawn to kick on. DEALT (3) is bred to stay but defied the market to win on debut. Resuming off a quiet trial has serious claims. ORTHIES (2) is on trial at this trip but displaying good talent of late. TANGO QUEEN (5) best of the rest after an improved showing in latest run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Pariah Engagement win.
