TABTOUCH - BETTER YOUR BET HANDICAP 1400m

Track:     Rail: True.  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Western Impact. WESTERN IMPACT (9) settled back in the run and launched a long attack as he ran away for a dominant win over this track and trip a fortnight ago. While that's hard to replicate, it does look to shape similarly this time from a wide barrier and he's well weighted under the conditions. Can bring up back-to-back wins. DESERT SLEEVE (10) drops back to 1400m today where he doesn't boast the best record, though he never got into the race over the mile last time out. Now drawn inside and with no weight on his back, his best form rates well among this field and a return to that level will see him in the finish. LE TROY (8) is racing in good order this time in and finished behind Western Impact last time out. Racing in good order and that formline looks the one to follow when assessing this race. TRADED CROWN (6) comes into this off a let-up and his last start produced some strong form. Worth including. DIVINE JUDGEMENT (2) is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Western Impact.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming eased back early on 5th of 8 at this track Rtg 60+ on May 17 over 1000m, 8 len behind Spirit Man with 59kg at $21. Second-up ran last of 8 at Roebourne Rtg 56+ on June 8 over 1406m, 11 len behind Mega Reward carrying 60kg at $26. Struggling to make an impact lately and others appeal more.

First-up. Finished off last preparation second last of 8 at Mt Magnet Rtg 56+ September 21 over 1400m, 14 len behind Deal Obtained with 58.5kg at $5.50.
