LAKES ELECTRICAL PETER PALMER MEMORIAL HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 19)   Rail: +3m entire. (Pent: 7.30)  

Science Degree, Sure Thing and Twist Of Gold to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. JUST FAMOUS (4) jumped a $1.60 favourite on resumption when making it a hat-trick of victories. The inside draw is a big tick for Nottle and the form out of his fresh run has stood up. Can extend her winning run. CLOSE AT HAND (2) ended his last campaign in good order and looks back in top form judging by his recent trial. Tsang's claim comes in handy as he carries top weight and with a good draw on offer, he can return with a bang. TWIST OF GOLD (10) is building into this campaign nicely, finishing 0.8L off the winner last time out. She boasts a strong third-up record and Faithfull remains in the saddle. There's plenty to like about her today and she can put her best foot forward. PRAWNS ELEVEN (1) can mix his form, but he showed last start he's up to this grade. Carries a big weight but has to be included on his latest effort. SCIENCE DEGREE (5) can give a bold sight despite the wide alley. SUGGESTED PLAY: Just Famous looks the one to beat.

Returns from a 37-day let-up. Most recently favourite; won by 0.9 len at this track Rtg 70+ April 3 over 1100m defeating Science Degree with 59.5kg at $2.05. Before that faded in the straight 6th of 9 at Ascot Rtg 66+ on March 21 over 1200m, 5 len behind Malletier with 56kg at $9. Can mix his form but his best is good enough to win this - as he showed last start.

The run before that didn't do much in the run home; second last of 10 at Pinjarra Scarpside Cl3 on March 12 over 1500m, 8 len behind Precious God with 54kg at $71. Struggling to make an impact lately and others appeal more.
