GOING: G(3)

HUNGRY'S - GREG ALEXANDER MEMORIAL HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Good 34     Rail: True.  

Choice Bid should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. RUBICK DELIGHT (9) improved nicely second-up to get the job done in a Maiden last time out when sitting on the speed at Geraldton. The good draw should see her prominent in the run and she can improve again third-up into the campaign. Can go on with the job. THE RUSH (1) finished eighth over 1600m at Geraldton last time out following a determined win two back. Will find this a little easier than last time. Well placed and is one of the contenders. RUN TEDDY RUN (10) was never really a threat when resuming last start over 1400m at Belmont Park, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in eighth. Has a win and three minor placings at this journey from six starts and is not to be discounted. LIM'S SARBACH (3) is next. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Rubick Delight.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 6th of 14 at Geraldton Mdn on February 19 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Cateran carrying 56kg at $31. Second run from a spell favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.8 len at Geraldton Mdn March 13 over 1200m defeating Encosta De Money carrying 56kg at $3.50. Found her best form now. Good win last start and can go on with the job.

Second-up. First-up after five months 8th of 11 at Belmont Park Cl3 C&G on March 4 over 1400m, 7 len behind History Won't Care carrying 51kg at $201. Previously second-up settled back and ran on when 6th of 9 at Carnarvon Cl3 on July 11 over 1400m, 9 len behind Western Impact carrying 53kg at $18. Much easier here and he can bounce back to winning ways.
