GOING: N

RISDON HOTEL PACE 1609m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 25)    

The unbeaten run of SIGNATURE LOOK (3) came to an end here last start but he was far from disgraced when leading and boxing on for a 1.7m third. Had won his first five starts prior. Has the speed to push forward from this draw. Can bounce back. KATHYS FREE (5) finished fourth last start at Globe Derby, beaten 3.4 metres, after a good win at Gawler the run prior. Suited returning to a venue where she has won two of three attempts. ALAKAZAM (4) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third. His record at this circuit and distance is encouraging. MACHETE ROULETTE (1) has come from wider barriers to finish top-four in all three stars so far this campaign and will be peaking now.
