GOING: S(5)

DEMOLITION WA MAIDEN 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: +9m Entire.  

Expecting King Of France to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. COUSIN MORTIMER (2) does come out of a decent form maiden from Bunbury. He could well lift his performance into a different sort of race. Will give away a fair start though. JEKYLL ISLAND (4) also got a long way off them last week but made up good ground. If he did produce his best he can contend. BONDI'S SON (5) is back in distance this time. His only placing did come two runs back over a shorter trip. CHEST OUT SWAGGER (3) possibly found the mile too far at Pinjarra. The low draw will give him a sweet run all the way. STYLIN' (8) is the interesting runner coming off a series of trials before debuting. Betting is the key. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cousin Mortimer a solid chance but watch the market on the newcomer Stylin'.
