FINMEC HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD     Rail: True.  

Imperialize should find the front with Calathinite and Hit The Jackpot on his heels. LA SIGNORA DANE (5) resumed four weeks ago over 1103m at Roebourne and was only beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth. Second up record is very strong. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CALATHINITE (6) was sent forward last time out and boxed on to finish a head from the winner in second at this track over 1200m. Strong record with Elisha Whittington in the irons, including a win. Will strip fitter so expect him to feature. STAR POWER (2) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1103m at Roebourne, beaten 2.75 lengths. Kyra Yuill gets the best out of this six-year-old mare. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. LEADING TADDY (3) settled well back and turned in a mediocre run last time out over 1200m at this track after a nice win the start prior. Nicely placed to bounce back. CASSENITE (7) is racing well and can give a bit of cheek again. SUGGESTED PLAY: La Signora Dane goes on top.

Second-up held ground to the line 3rd of 10 at this track Cl1 on May 31 over 1200m, 1.4 len behind Lady Cabernet carrying 57kg at $6.50. Wasn’t too far off the mark last time. Rates highly on recent form and is worth including.
