KEVIN LEAHY MEMORIAL HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

Not much early pressure but Spanish Kat, Archer County and Divine Judgement can take up forward spots. IRONCLAD BOY (4) was quickly back on track beaten 1L here 13 days ago. It was a big effort, and with average luck in the run, he's the one to beat. GRECE LIGHTNING (3) came here and spiked his figures winning this grade over 1400m. Races forward and will go close holding that form. SPANISH KAT (5) led and went well over a mile at Geraldton and then didn't get into it here over 1400m. Comes back in grade over shorter again and will be better for his first outing on the surface. ARCHER COUNTY (1) drops back to a sprint on a quick backup. He mixes the form, but maps well, and his best would give him a hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Ironclad Boy.

Form hard to fault. Last start 3rd in a small field at Roebourne Rtg 65+ on June 8 over 1611m, 5.5 len behind Stay Wealthy with 56.5kg at $5.50. The race before that raced on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 8 at this track Rtg 56+ on May 17 over 1400m, 3 len behind Monty Zoomer with 56kg at $8.50. Rates highly. Worth plenty of thought.
