GOING: G(4)

KALGOORLIE RSL HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: Out 1.5m Entire. (Pent: 6.4).  

Expecting Men's Club to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. The Peter Fernie barn holds all the aces. GLUTEN FREE (4) found Ascot too tough but was quickly back on track winning the 64 here as expected. Draws to advantage and faithful sticks. Fitter and can go on with it. TALK IT UP (2) resumed in the same race beaten 1.6L and is back on track. Performs second-up and is a player with average luck in the run. MEN'S CLUB (1) resumed in stronger at Ascot and needed the outing. Has a handy 2kg claim and will use the low barrier. Has won 3/5 second up and quick improvement is likely. NODUSTONME (8) deserved the 70 win and that stacks up. Remains down in the weights and can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Gluten Free.
