GOING: G

KEVIN LEAHY MEMORIAL HANDICAP 1000m

Track:     Rail: True.  

Expecting plenty of speed from Versaille, Weapons Hot and Cozzies Choice from Rose Of Denmark. WEAPONS HOT (2) is building to a win and looks a top chance. Finished runner-up behind Mystery Minute last time and beat home a host of them in the previous race. Gets his chance. CRYPTIC JOY (7) was narrowly beaten fresh in this class and can only be fitter. Rates a leading hope to go one better. PRECAST (8) finished 3 lengths adrift in fourth when tackling a dirt track for the first time last start over this track and trip. Strong each-way chance. VERSAILLE (4) is having her first run since February 19. Goes very well when fresh with two wins from four starts, the latest over 1100m at Geraldton at the start of last prep. Sure to make her presence felt. CHEEKY CHARLOTTE (3) resumes and has won fresh. Suited this grade and worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Weapons Hot.
