GOING: G(4)

CITY & REGIONAL FUELS HANDICAP 2000m

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

What A Prince should lead and dictate terms. TRUE PLAYER (6) got the job done last time out at Pinjarra as he mowed his rivals down from midfield. He's back with the Williams stable now and the rise to 2000m is no issue at all. He's a course and distance winner in the past and he lands here third-up with plenty of upside still. Can repeat the dose. LILLIAN (2) made it a hat-trick last start when sitting on the speed throughout over 2200m. The apprentice hops on board now, but she seems a rather straight forward ride and should make her own luck up on the speed. Can extend her winning run as she continues to rise through the grades. AUDIO BOY (7) continues to knock on the door, finishing 1.1L off Lillian last time out. He maps beautifully once more for Brad Parnham who replaces the apprentice hoop. Can continue his strong run of form. GREAT FORTUNE (1) jumps out to 2000m again where he is 1/1. Can feature. DENNIS CHOUX (4) looks ready for this trip now and he won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: True Player can go back-to-back.
