GOING: G(4)

David 'DT' Thomas Memorial Provincial Pathways Final 1800m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: +2m Entire; Sectional 602m. (Pent: 5.46)  

A solid tempo on the cards with I'm Kenny heading them off. THE GOLDEN FIST (2) is going from strength to strength to this campaign, capitalising last start with a jaw-dropping win at Balaklava. Struck winning form now and can go on with the job. FINE FUTURE (1) rattled home from a mile back to just miss in a hot field last start at Oakbank. He’s racing consistently this prep and looks well suited stepping out to 1800m. Hard to hold out with a similar effort. NAVY GOLD (6) finished a lip behind TGF when doing his best work late. Strips rock-hard fit and doesn't have to improve much to be winning but will need a smart steer from Holder. ENCIPHERING (10) showed plenty of grit to get the verdict over this trip last start at Clare. This is deeper, but he’s on the up and worth keeping safe. AMMO AMOR (9) tackles a much more suitable trip third-up and can improve sharply. Don't dismiss. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with The Golden Fist.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 14 at Oakbank Vintage on April 19 over 1400m, long-neck behind Rubamos carrying 54kg at $9. The run before that made ground from midfield; 3rd of 10 at Morphettville Parks Bm68 on April 5 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Jilladora carrying 58.5kg at $3. Hard to beat on the back of that sort of form.
