THANK YOU WITTENS IRRIGATION & DESIGN HANDICAP 1113m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 21)   Rail: +5m entire.  

Expecting Prince Ragnar to take up the running with Onemoretwomany and Bombay Style close at hand. SNIPPY WHICH (3) resumes as a gelding today. He never fired a shot in much stronger company at the end of his last campaign, but his two trials this time in work have been very impressive. Looks ready to fire first-up back in grade. UNDER INFLUENCE (2) hasn't been himself in recent races, though he drops right back to Country level today and he is a course and distance winner previously. The 3kg claim comes in handy and the slight rise in trip doesn't appear an issue. Can bounce back to his best. PRINCE RAGNAR (4) disappointed most recently but he started this campaign in good form on the dirt at Carnarvon. He boasts a strong record at this track however and he'll carry no weight after the claim of O'Donnell. He can't be discounted. ONEMORETWOMANY (5) drops right back in grade today as he resumes for the new barn. Form last campaign is good enough to be knocking off a race like this. PATCHWORK (7) can fire first-up and is a track and trip winner previously. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Snippy Which.
