GOING:

TASSAL HANDICAP 1435m

Track:     Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with Power To Rule leading from The Top Bar and Rulesque. LEAVING LAS VEGAS (1) drifted back from his wide draw last start then hit the line hard to score by a head at this track over 1435m. Rates highly and should go well again. POWER TO RULE (12) finished 5 lengths adrift in seventh last time at this track in a disappointing performance. Likely improver with strong prospects. SEMPRE (3) recorded his first win last start over 1300m at this track, getting home by 0.9 lengths. Tougher task this time but expected to be competitive again. THE TOP BAR (2) finished third two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 2.5 lengths over 1200m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can make it two in succession. SCHUHBECK (10) is racing in top order and can't be left out of calculations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaving Las Vegas can repeat the dose.

Second run back. First-up after three months favourite; won by a head at this track Cl2 June 6 over 1435m defeating Shoulder Patch carrying 59kg at $2.45. Previously second-up got back early 7th of 10 at Belmont Park Cl1 on March 4 over 1200m, 6 len behind Miss Valmalenco carrying 60kg at $5. In the money when second up in the past and can add to that record today.

Racing well recently. Most recently ran on from midfield and won by 2.5 len at this track Cl2 June 13 over 1200m defeating Solar System with 59kg at $5.50. Before that rolled along in front before being edged out 3rd of 11 at this track Rtg 58+ on June 6 over 1200m, 2 len behind Close Talker with 54.5kg at $10. No reason he won't play a major role again.

Previously second-up won by 2.75 len at this track Mdn June 14 2025 over 1300m defeating Fast John carrying 58kg at $4.60. Still early in the prep and needs another run or two.

Previously second-up 7th of 11 at Pinjarra Scarpside Mdn on June 19 2025 over 1500m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Romantic Ruler with 58kg at $21. Hard to get excited about his chances.

Disappointing form likely to continue.

Best form stacks up nicely so worth another chance.
