GOING: G(4)

RACINGWA.COM.AU HANDICAP 1400m Track: GOOD 4 Clear (Max: 22) Rail: Out 12m Entire. (Pent: 6.7).
Genuine tempo with Fellafromdownunder and Duke Of Wellington prominent. CORRECT CHOICE (1) disappointed last start when beaten 3L after a good win over this trip at Bunbury prior. He drops back into an easier race today and William Pike taking the ride is a big tick. Drawn nicely and can get back to winning ways. ONE PUNCH (3) ran over the top to miss by 2.2L over this course and distance last time out in CL3 company. Back to a CL1 today, with the claim of Gaerth coming in handy. Best form is good enough and he's expected to put his best foot forward. SUNBRONZED (6) got too far back over 1200m here following some strong efforts over 1000m to start the campaign. Out to this trip for the first time, but it doesn't appear an issue and he still has plenty of upside. Right in the mix on best form. DRINKS ON ME (2) has been disappointing over the mile of late but was a winner over this track and trip first-up. Can bounce back. FELLAFROMDOWNUNDER (4) can make an impression first-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Correct Choice goes on top.
