GOING: G(4)

REGAL ENGINEERING BRONTE STEWART MEMORIAL HANDICAP 1612m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 6.70)  

Beau Talk to take up the running at a moderate tempo. BEAU TALK (1) has been below his best in his last couple of starts at Ascot after finishing second at Pinjarra before that. He will find this company more to his liking and from a handy gate, with the aid of a 1.5kg claim, a form reversal is on the cards. ON JUST TERMS (6) followed up an encouraging second fresh up on this track when resuming from a spell with a comfortable all the way win here just over 2 weeks ago. She is showing promise and could be hard to peg back again. BANG FOR BUCK (2) built his form strongly and took a deserved maiden win here by a neck when starting as an odds-on favourite. The winkers go on, and she could even repeat the dose. THE CANDY KID (8) can do better. Include in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Beau Talk to win.
