GOING: G(4)

GLENROY CHAFF HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 29)   Rail: Out 12m Entire. (Pent: 7.1).  

Expecting Close Talker to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. OCEAN OUTLAW (6) disappointed at the end of last campaign when getting too far back over this course and distance, but his prior form stacks up well in this event. He was an impressive trial winner earlier this month and he can be handy from the draw. Can return on a winning note. MISS ESPRIT (1) can't be knocked on her recent form, finishing in the placings all campaign. She bolted in over 1108m at Bunbury two back and only just missed when stretching to 1300m last time out. Back in trip on the fresh side and should be in this for a very long way. CLOSE TALKER (8) tackled tougher company last start at Bunbury after winning at Pinjarra, with the form out of that maiden quite strong. Back to this level suits and she's sure to be in the thick of the finish. AHYEAHRIGHTO (4) made a winning start to his career and can go on with the job. EXPOROSE (12) wasn't far away first-up and can be thereabouts at the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Ocean Outlaw.

Useful type. Comes off a 41 day let-up. At the latest run tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 10 at Pinjarra Pearl Classic on February 17 over 1300m, neck behind Petula carrying 55kg at $26. Before that scored a big 3 len win at Bunbury Mdn February 4 over 1108m defeating Rustic Rose carrying 56kg at $2. Solid run last time and is a strong winning hope again.
