GOING: G(4)

GOLDFIELDS PEST CONTROL HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 28)   Rail: +5m Entire.  

Reasonable tempo with Dancing Choose probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. JET PLANES (4) showed good ability during his initial prep last spring and is resuming for a new trainer. He has had the benefit of a couple of tune-up trials, and with the advantage of the pole position, he should be among the hardest to beat fresh up. ZEBEDEE SPRINGS (1) made a winning Western Australian debut when scoring a convincing win at Esperance in January. He has been close up in 2 more starts and should be right in the finish again, despite a tricky gate. PRAY WITH YOU (7) will be peaking third up from a spell and really hit the line strongly to finish fifth at Esperance 15 days ago. He has an extra 100m to travel this time and can have the last say. DANCING CHOOSE (3) capped off some solid form with a well-deserved win as favourite at Esperance just over a fortnight ago. Go again. QUEEN'S SACRIFICE (9) fought on gamely for sixth at Pinjarra last start and won at Ascot before that. She has been placed on this track in the past and another honest effort is expected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Jet Planes to win.
