GOING: N

DOODLAKINE COMMUNITY CONDITIONED HANDICAP SS PACE 2100m

Track: GOOD      

GOODONYA MATE (5) is usually thereabouts and was third in a tougher field at Northam last time out. He has to make up 40m early on, but can't be underestimated. JUST A HAPPY MAN (1) ran a better race last time out and may try and make an early play for glory here. Stick with him at some value. RISING SPIRIT (6) comes right into calculations following a few key scratchings, while VELVET SHADOW (4) is the best of the rest.

Two back was well beaten into eighth behind Alexandra Thegreat at this track over 2130m in a 4yo+ NR 50 to 55 on May 25 at $16. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Acushla Machree at Northam over 2560m in a NR up to 80 on May 31 at $34. Form sound and expected to measure up.

Well beaten last start by Acushla Machree, a rival who he faces again; when 15 metres sixth at Northam over 2560m in a NR up to 80 race on May 31. Hard to have on those efforts.

Failed to impress last start; 5th (Fr8) over 2536m after showing early speed at Gloucester Park beaten 11 m by Cams Boulder (3:07.10) in NR 60 to 80 on June 6 at $7.50. Showed ability the race before when she posted a big 7 m win as favourite (60m Fr1) at Northam (3:15.50) beating Frankie Major in NR up to 80 on May 31 at $1.36. Will be right in the thick of things.
