CATCH THE FIRE AT SOMERSET FARMS QUALIFYING PACE (B DIV) 2138m

Track: GOOD      

Former WA mare SISTA SAMMY (2) made a good start for Ron Sallis when a 4.2m third in a mares' race here last week. Races well when second up so should be improved and steps up to a distance where her record is sound. Winning chance from another good draw. IM BOO (1) did a good job top finish midfield from the back row last start. The ace draw brings him right into contention. MOTH HUNTER (8) was held up at a vital stage when beaten only 5m from this draw when fresh. Has recorded two wins and a placing from four second-up attempts so improvement is likely. RESILIENT (3) has had a month off since the last-start failure but was racing well prior and draws well. ARENDELLE (9) scored back-to-back wins at this circuit and distance before he was held up for clear running from this barrier when fourth last time. Include.
