GOING: G(4)

DIAB ENGINEERING PTY LTD READY WHEN YOU ARE HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 27)   Rail: True.  

Moderate tempo expected with Gold Keeper likely to find the front over Truly Gallant and Keytrade. SNIPPETY LEGEND (4) got the job done impressively under similar conditions here two back as a $1.65 fav before taking on a Saturday race in town where he wasn't disgraced. Back to the scene of the crime now and Faithfull reunites. Ticks plenty of boxes and he looks set to return to winning form. TRULY GALLANT (9) resumed off a short break with a strong effort here as the favourite last time out. Nottle hops back in the saddle now and he'll be fitter for that effort. Can go one better without surprising. MANHATTAN STRIP (2) has been outclassed in stronger races recently but comes back to this level now which looks to suit. He's placed in both attempts at this track and trip. Can play a major role off the inside draw. GOLD KEEPER (3) is right on the cusp of another victory and he can't be left out. FEUDING (1) is better than we saw on resumption and can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Snippety Legend is the one to beat.

The race before that won by 1.75 len at this track Rtg 70+ February 5 over 1400m defeating Bombay Style with 54kg at $1.65. Good win in a similar race two back and that form can see him return to winning ways.

Second-up. First-up after two months 2nd of 10 at this track Cl2 on February 28 over 1417m, 1.1 len behind Cateran carrying 61.5kg at $3.50. Previously second-up ran on from midfield; 2nd of 9 at this track Cl2 on November 4 over 1420m, 0.6 len behind Snippety Legend carrying 59kg at $3.80. Strong effort fresh and he can go one better without surprising.
