GOING: G(4)

D & A PLUMBING AND GAS SERVICES HANDICAP 1920m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

Manhattan Jewel to take charge ahead of Beanie at a strong tempo. MANHATTAN JEWEL (4) disappointed at Geraldton last start when not finding under pressure turning for home. He now stretches in trip, but she was trending the right way prior to her latest effort. Happy to overlook one bad run and anticipate her to bounce back in a big way today. BEANIE (2) went to town last start and wasn't disgraced following a good win at this track and trip the start prior. Back to the scene of the crime now and the 2lg claim comes in handy. May need some luck from the draw but is racing well and appears the main danger. SMOKING BARREL (5) steps up in trip now which should suit and he'll find this much easier than recent efforts. He is a track and trip winner previously and he'll be coming on strongly from the back of the field. PIERRA ART (8) hasn't been disgraced in tougher company lately and is worth including. DESERT SLEEVE (3) is best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Manhattan Jewel can bounce back.
