GOING: G

TABTOUCH SCAN MY BET HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 29)   Rail: +6m Entire.  

Solid tempo set by Universal Hotness and Pure Silver. PURE SILVER (11) looks well placed here coming back in grade. Outclassed in the Lee Steere Stakes at Ascot then midfield in richer company last time at Pinjarra. Will find this far easier and going much better than form suggests. Gets chance. Biggest danger looks to be UNIVERSAL HOTNESS (4). Led and was run down here two back then same again last time when stuck on well for third. Low draw and will take catching. LA EXCELLENCE (1) tackled a mile at Ascot last time and pushed forward from wide out before fading. Not a great day again but back in grade and can do much better. ANTZ PANTZ BABY (6) wasn't far away after a year long break and will strip far fitter. Blinkers go on and expecting sharp improvement. JAZALOT (7) was a close-up fourth latest. Mixing form but could sneak into the finish on best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Pure Silver.

At the latest run sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 10 at Ascot Grad Hcp 60+ on January 1 over 1600m, 12 len behind Belta Of A Song carrying 55kg at $41. Before that ran on from midfield and won by 0.6 len at Pinjarra Mdn November 30 over 1500m defeating Sweet Issy carrying 58kg at $4.60. Not a great draw again but this easier and capable of a bold run.

The race before that did the work up front then tired 5th of 9 at this track Cl3 on December 18 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Belta Of A Song with 57.5kg at $12. An inside alley is a big advantage. Overdue and looks hard to run down.
