GOING: S(5)

UNITE RESOURCING HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: 18m cutaway applied.  

Genuine pace with Spread The Rumour finding the front from his low draw. MY HIDDEN UNIVERSE (3) bolted in as favourite first-up at Bunbury and the form coming out from behind him has been superb. Both the second and third horses have come out and won, with the gelding showing superior speed on June 2. Can find the front again and repeat the dose. SPREAD THE RUMOUR (5) is a lightly raced galloper who ran a hole at Pinjarra last start as a 25-1 chance. This looks a similar event and he's drawn to be prominent in the run again. Can improve again now third-up and won't be far away. RAPID ROCK (4) just held on for a narrow win at Northam 16 days ago and is not to be discounted off the inside draw again. Nicely weighted after the claim and he can put his best foot forward again. ODIN OMEN (7) can build on the handy first-up effort and is worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: My Hidden Universe can repeat the dose.
