GOING: G(4)

TABTOUCH - WESTSPEED PLATINUM HANDICAP 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: True.  

Keen speed battle, with Bartime, Uukhai and Hit The Jackpot prominent. SURFSIDE SESSION (7) looks a progressive type who got the job done by 0.7L last start in Heavy conditions at Belmont. The rise to 1100m doesn't look an issue and he looks ready to raise the bar once again. Can roll forward from the barrier and bring up back-to-back wins. MONEY TREES (13) disappointed in his last run 86 days ago but lands here fresh and without a trial between. He won first-up last campaign at Albany, but showed good ability when going under narrowly in a similar race at Pinjarra two back. Can feature back on top of the ground. KRAKEN TIME (6) looks an improve today third-up into the campaign and getting back to Ascot. He's been a touch disappointing in his two runs back, but he draws the inside now and he was good here back in May. UUKHAI (5) will be fitter again now third-up into the campaign and is not to be discounted. BARTIME (9) can sit on the speed from a good barrier and give them something to chase. SUGGESTED PLAY: Surfside Session can go back-to-back.
