WA SPIRIT OF RACING AWARDS NOMINATIONS NOW OPEN HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT5   Rain (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 12m Entire. (Pent: 6.8).  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Magic Belle. SAFEKEEPER (8) was very good without winning in her debut campaign and she was very impressive at the trials recently, winning by 3.8L. She shouldn't be a maiden for much longer and if she can run up to her recent trial, she should be winning this. MYTHICAL MISS (6) returned in good order at Bunbury a fortnight ago, beaten just 1.2L over 1014m. She was a second-up winner last campaign and she has the speed to be prominent from an outside alley. Can go one better without surprising. MAGIC BELLE (5) went under in a photo finish last time out at Northam and drops back to the short course where she's been successful previously. The 2kg claim comes in handy and a repeat of her most recent effort will see her go close at the finish. TOROPA (2) was put away straight after the debut win. Will be ready with two trials coming in. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Safekeeper can return with a victory.

Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.
