GOING: G

AL'S LIQUOR STORE HANDICAP 1700m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

Pace only fair with Mexican Queen rolling to the lead ahead of Traded Crown and Awesome Lily. AWESOME LILY (9) was too good over 1400m last start when just getting there late in the race. Out to 1700m now, though she has performed well at the mile previously. May need a touch of luck from the gate, but she carries no weight and looks well placed to repeat the dose. FELLAFROMDOWNUNDER (2) made it back-to-back wins last start with a 0.2L victory at Port Hedland last time out. He'll be able to sit close to the speed again from the good barrier and the rise in trip isn't an issue. Can go on with the job. SHABALALA (3) is hard to knock on recent form, bumping into a good winner here last start over the mile. This looks to shape similarly and he's likely to be in the finish once again from a good gate. TRADED CROWN (5) showed good improvement second-up and steps out in trip now. His third-up record is solid and he won't be far away. DIVINE JUDGEMENT (6) is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Awesome Lily can get the job done again.

Second-up. First-up after 14 months ran last of 10 at this track Rtg 56+ on July 20 over 1400m, 17 len behind Lacevinsky carrying 60kg at $21. Previously second-up ran on from midfield; 2nd of 9 at Ascot Westspeed 0Mwly on April 20 2024 over 1600m, head behind Arnie's Boy with 58kg at $9.50. Fitter but looks a forlorn hope.

Before that favourite; tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck at Port Hedland Cl1 June 21 over 1400m defeating Kia Ora Tatou carrying 59kg at $3.60. Rates highly. Should prove hard to beat.
