GOING: G(4)

TABTOUCH SHARE MY BET HANDICAP 1113m

Track:   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +4m Entire.  

Fast pace assured with Pop The Moet, Queen Of Hawks and Prinsessa Anja leading the charge. QUEEN OF HAWKS (8) scratched from a winnable race at Narrogin on Thursday to line up here. She was very good first-up and lost no admirers last start at Ascot over 1100m. She's a lightly-raced filly with upside and she maps beautifully. She looks the one to beat. LOST GRAVITY (1) was solid at Pinjarra first-up and will find this easier than what he's been racing in. He's likely to be back from the draw, but the 3kg claim comes in handy and he can be there at the finish. GENERAL KNOWLEDGE (2) comes here off a 76-day break and has switched stables in that time. He hasn't been sighted since that latest effort, but he draws to get every chance and he'll go close if he can hold his form. THE SLAP (5) gets the blinkers on first time today after a 7L defeat most recently as favourite. Can bounce back. IRONCLAD BOY (4) is better than he's shown his past couple and is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Queen Of Hawks.
