GOING: S(5)

WA RACEHORSE OWNERS' ASSOCIATION HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Lord Shiva and Ginnivan can be prominent. ATLANTIC SPIRIT (9) was very impressive when getting over the top to score by 0.5L when rounding them up from the second half of the field. The splits there were very strong and it showed that she may have another level to go to. This shapes similarly and she can go back-to-back. TOO DARDY (5) was solid on resumption at this track and trip 21 days ago and is a two-time winner second-up. This looks to set up well for him from an inside barrier and O'Donnell sticks from the fresh run. If he can improve on the fresh effort, he'll be very hard to hold out. KAY TEE WHY (4) comes through the same race as Too Dardy where he was only 0.8L off the winner. Can go one better today from a good draw with things looking to pan out favourably for him. LORD SHIVA (8) can find the front again here and will be tough to run down again. KEEP ITA MYSTERY (6) won't be far away if he runs up to his first-up effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Atlantic Spirit can get the job done again.
