GOING: G(4)

BLACKBEE HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +3m Entire.  

Strong tempo with Hey Bull, Oscar Winner and Pretty Devine leading the way. Competitive. ON THE FULL (1) improved placing at York this distance and then didn't run out 1500m there following. Drops back in grade with a handy 3kg claim and has the numbers to go close in this company. PRETTY DEVINE (2) is speedy and disappointed 15 days ago at Narrogin (vet cleared). Placed at York prior and keeps a handy 3kg claim. She will use the inside gate and also has winning claims. GINGERIFFIC (8) resumed in stronger at Pinjarra and needed the run. Presently fitter and has shown enough to keep onside. ADDICTIVE DREAM (5) raced as the favourite at Dongara first up and wasn't far away. He has more to give and can get into the finish. PLAYFUL STAR (10) is also second-up and has a 2kg claim. Had switched yards and improved. The gate is awkward but expect him to be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: On The Full appeals most.

Most recently ran last in a small field at Narrogin Rtg 52+ on April 11 over 1190m, 9 len behind Imapagethree Girl with 58.5kg at $6. The race before that led but faded 3rd of 10 at York on April 6 over 1200m, 1.75 len behind Missile Girl with 61.5kg at $2.90. An inside stall is a big advantage. Will find this more suitable and go well.
