GOING: G(4)

KALGOORLIE CASE & DRILL HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 15)   Rail: +8m Entire. (Pent: 6.76)  

Plenty of pressure from Science Degree, Love Drunk Baby and Blue Can Talk battling for the lead over Pearly Nuggett. SCIENCE DEGREE (6) has been impressive this time in work and the slight drop in trip may be what he's looking for after being caught late in recent events. The 4kg claim comes in handy and she'll be up front from the favourable alley. Racing in top order and can land the knockout blow. DREAMERS NEVER DIE (3) resumes today after switching to the Dion Luciani barn and now back to Peter Fernie since his latest run in November. Faithfull's engagement is a strong push for his chances and he is a fresh winner in the past. Wouldn't surprise to see him get over the top late in the race. LOVE DRUNK BABY (1) has bumped into one in-form his past couple and gets some weight relief this time wit the claim of Tsang. Should be close to the speed and can make an impression. MAGNASONIC (2) can resume on a good note after a nice trial recently. PEARLY NUGGETT (4) won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Science Degree looks the one to beat.
