GOING: S(5)

THANK YOU PENNS CARTAGE & SALT BUSH CONTRACTING HANDICAP 1300m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: +7m entire.  

Expecting a solid pace with Please Mizter, West Coast Warrior and Chipilly leading the charge. CHIPILLY (5) led and bolted in over 1100m fresh and did so without a trial, scoring by 2.9L in fine style. Out in trip here, but she's placed in 2/3 at this track and trip. Has good early speed and with improvement likely, she can bring up back-to-back efforts. PLEASE MIZTER (1) was only fair first-up over 1200m at this track last time out. He does improve sharply second-up however and Fiore taking the ride is a good push for her chances. Expecting him to be right in the finish. LACIE ACE (10) got a long way back last start at this track and could only finish 5.5L off the winner. She's likely to be back from the draw once again for Whittington, but the slight rise in trip should suit. Can be in the finish. WEST COAST WARRIOR (2) is better than he showed last campaign and can bounce back to his best today. HIGH PRECISION (8) can feature on resumption. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chipilly gets the nod.
