GOING: G(4)

DARRYS PLUMBING AND GAS HANDICAP 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 29)   Rail: True.  

Diamond Light has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. CLASSIC ROYALE (7) will be fitter for the fresh run at this track and trip where he never really fired a shot. Back to the 1100m here may do the trip as he remains right down in the weights. Looks open to improvement second-up and can get the job done. SCREAM (1) brings some solid form across from Victoria in his first run for the new barn. He won well in similar grade two back at Hanging Rock and backed up that effort at Stony Creek. Webster's claim is a bonus and she can make a winning start to his career out west. I'M EUGENE (6) stuck on well over the 1200m journey here last time out and comes back in trip today. He's drawn well to be prominent once again and he has to be included on that run. PRECAST (4) wasn't far away last time out and can put her best foot forward. ROYAL DEFENSE (9) can bounce back dropping in class. SUGGESTED PLAY: Classic Royale gets his chance.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 56-day let-up. Last start ran on from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Stony Creek Bm56 on January 18 over 1000m, on a slow track; nose behind Juice Box with 61.5kg at $3. The race before that came from midfield and won by 0.8 len at Hanging Rock Bm56 January 1 over 1000m defeating Simply Luscious carrying 60kg at $2.45. Racing in good order and can go one better tonight.
