GOING: G(3)

COUNTRY COMFORT PERTH HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD 3   Clear (Max: 32)   Rail: Out 2m Entire.  

Genuine tempo from Denzoe leading Delago Dehero. WELL PLAYED (3) has thrived since joining a local county stable and made it 4 wins from 6 starts this prep when completing a hat-trick here by a nose 3 weeks ago. She made all of the running that day and another 2 kilos more in weight, may not be enough to stop her from winning again. SORAIS (4) tends to get back in his races and can produce a big finish if the tempo is genuine, as it was 2 starts back when we saw him score by a head. If he gets a run to suit here then he can have the last say. BUTTERFLYROCK (5) can't be faulted for his consistency in this campaign and he was again in the money last time out, finishing third. He has 2.5 kilos less to carry this time and can finish closer. Each way value. SPIRIT MAN (2) was less than 2 lengths from the winner in a tougher field last time out and before that, he was third at this level. An extra will suit him and another honest effort is on the cards. Include in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sorais each-way.
