GOING: G(4)

THE JMS DAVE OBRIEN MEMORIAL HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 6.89)  

Slick tempo with Blue Can Talk to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. WINEACLOCKSUMWHERE (6) went well at Belmont and then missed a whisker here. He's switched from a metro barn to Peter Fernie on a 14-day return and will get every chance from an inside gate., SECRET ATTIRE (5) represents the same yard and is a danger. She went close at Belmont last time and will be fitter for that. This suits and she maps for a soft run. IMAPAGETHREE GIRL (3) ran a strong number beaten 1L at Northam first-up. The former Victorian is improved and gets in well with the 3kg claim. PEARLY NUGGETT (1) needs a good ride but she keeps improving and she can get into the finish again. BLUE CAN TALK (2) will be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Wineaclocksumwhere.
