GOING: G(4)

SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING BLUE HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 22)   Rail: +6m Entire. (Pent: 6.75)  

Strong tempo with So Likable and Never Sober leading the way over Queen's Sacrifice. DUBLIN RED (7) got over the top to score over 1200m here last start and put up a good figure in doing so. This looks a similar race and Fiore remains in the saddle. May get back in the run, but if she can reproduce what she did last time out, she can bring up back-to-back wins. QUEEN'S SACRIFICE (12) won well two back in an all-the-way win before a 4.3L defeat at Belmont last time out. She has the speed to cross from out wide and she'll find this easier than recent performances. Down in the weights and will give them something to catch. PULL THE TRIGGER (4) comes through some strong races in town and comes to Kalgoorlie with one of the stable's strike jockeys engaged. He'll be back in the run, but he's got ratings to feature and is sure to be doing his best work late in the race. KAKADU (2) bumped into a good winner last start but draws much better this time around. Won't be far away. LUCKY LILY (9) can improve on recent efforts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dublin Red looks the one to beat.
