TABTOUCH TRY BET LOOP TODAY HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 31)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo from Romero, Kentucky Blue and Chino La Diva battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. CHINO LA DIVA (1) improved sharply on her defeat at Ascot, leading and winning a 44 by 2.7L over 1200m at Bunbury. Has a handy 2kg claim and will skip across and ride the speed. Will take plenty of stopping. CHEEKY CHARLOTTE (5) came home solidly here first-up when beaten 2L in a CL5. She's come back improved and has won second-up. Keeps the handy 3kg claim but will need things to go her way from the outside barrier. SPIRIT MAN (7) got closer in a 58 and then stalked the lead winning a CL3. He's been kept on the fresh side and a repeat effort can't be ruled out. SURE NO SOMETHING (3) maps to advantage and will be sharper second-up. His best form would see him in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chino La Diva to win.

Back from a spell. Finished off last preparation third of 8 at Port Hedland Rtg 56+ August 3 over 1600m, 2.75 len behind Uni Queen carrying 57.5kg at $4.20. When resuming last campaign second of 7 at this track Rtg 57+ March 8 over 1113m, 1.75 len behind Queen Tiffany with 59kg at $21. This race is tougher than what he was up against last time in and hard to imagine he'll play a role in this.
