GOING: G(4)

RSLWA TROPHY 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 12m Entire.  

Deal Obtained and El Patron will press forward early in a keen battle for top spot. VALDARENA (7) bolted in first-up on the Scarpside at Pinjarra when running away to win by 2.1L. That sets her up for a successful campaign where she can improve again with a run under her belt. Maps for a similar run here and she can make it two wins in a row. PULL THE TRIGGER (3) shed the maiden tag in good style at Geraldton when running away to win by 1.8L. The booking of Pike is a positive sign and he's very effective at this trip. Appears the main danger. KIRALUI (8) Should be ready to peak now third-up and did so to win off a similar preparation last campaign. The inside draw is a big tick and Parnham sticking adds confidence. Should be in this for a very long way. STATE OF FURY (10) is better than what she showed last time out and can bounce back with CJP in the saddle. HIGHLAND FLAIR (2) squealed home first-up and should appreciate the rise in trip and drop in class. Live chance despite being 100-1 last start. SUGGESTED PLAY: Valdarena can win again.
