GOING: S(5)

GLENROY CHAFF HANDICAP 1800m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: Out 14m Entire. (Pent: 6.7).  

Beau Talk to take charge ahead of Royal Glory at a good tempo. CITINO (2) stormed home over the top of his rivals to win impressively over a mile at Pinjarra and the rise in trip doesn't appear an issue. He was competitive in tougher company prior to his last start win and he can continue to work through the grades. BEAU TALK (1) led them up at Pinjarra and held on to score by 0.3L. He rises in trip for the first time, but the form out of his last start has been superb and Pike now takes the ride. Sure to be hard to catch once again. SELBY PARK (3) was only fair on the quick turnaround last Thursday and is again on the back up. Can be a touch closer from a better draw today and can be in the finish on recent efforts. KNOCKONEBACK (4) is also on the back up from last week where he finished behind Selby Park. Won't be far away. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Citino.
