GOING: G

SHARE BETS WITH TABTOUCH BET LOOP HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 31)   Rail: True.  

Strong tempo with Special Plan, Casino Royale and So Immaculate leading the way. SO IMMACULATE (6) displayed plenty of early toe scoring by 1.2 lengths over 1000m at Bunbury. Has a handy 2kg claim and the speedy mare should make short work of the awkward gate. She's well placed to go back-to-back. VERSAILLE (5) switched from a leading Victorian stable and stalked the lead first-up as a $2.4 favourite and got the prize. Uses the rail and has more to give. Will get every chance to go back-to-back. YAPPER (3) recorded a gutsy Maiden victory here over 1200m and has plenty of scope for improvement. Has a low draw and has to be considered. HILLSIDE HORACE (4) switched yards again and won a CL1 here first-up. He's much improved but will need a good ride from an outside barrier. SUGGESTED PLAY: So Immaculate to win.
