GOING: G(4)

SUREFIRE INSURANCE HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Purple Circle, Twist Of Gold and Ultimate Paradise to match motors but there will be other pressure. Superb race. TWIST OF GOLD (2) won a similar race at this track two weeks back, finishing 0.8 len ahead of nearest rival. Just needs to hold that form and can win again. PURPLE CIRCLE (3) won a maiden last start at just the second attempt and looks the one with most upside in this. Keep very safe. DATE WITHTHE DEVIL (5) is ticking over quite nicely this campaign and should be right around the mark again. BRULANTE (10) resumes having moved over from Victoria and bears close watching. MAVIS MYRTLE (7) is better than that latest run at Pinjarra, and looms as an each-way contender if she can bring her best. ULTIMATE PARADISE (4) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Very tough, let's try for a boxed quinella with TWIST OF GOLD, PURPLE CIRCLE, BRULANTE and DATE WITHOUT DEVIL.
