GOING: S(5)

TABTOUCH - BETTER YOUR BET HANDICAP 1100m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: Out 4m Entire.  

Genuine tempo with Speedy Nova and Elite Jewel battling for early supremacy. NAUGHTY GOSSIP (2) resumed with an easy win here this grade and is back on track. Faithful stays aboard and fitter she can go on with it. PHENCE SITTER (5) resumes for the same yard and has won one of her two fresh starts. She has more up her sleeve and the 2kg claim brings her into it. CHARMING BELLE (1) tries hard and was okay at Narrogin for the new stable. Her best city form would give her a chance. PIERRA ART (6) resumes and is better than the form line suggests. Has been away for a while but deserves a betting watch. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Naughty Gossip.
