GOING: G(4)

STATE WIDE TURF SERVICES HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 30)   Rail: Out 5m Entire.  

Strong early tempo with The Big One, Born And Bread and More Special leading the way. ESTIMATOR (3) runs along and won this grade at Belmont his only start last preparation. He's delivered 2/3 fresh and races well this course/distance. He won't have to be much improved to fight out the finish. PLATO OR PLOMO (5) resumes and is right up to this if presented forward. Has trialled well over 400m at Belmont but a tricky gate needs managing. MORE SPECIAL (4) resumes and has also shown enough to consider. Her 1000m Belmont trial was good but she also needs a good ride. ROMERO (8) reliable gelding with a solid top-three strike rate. Narrowly defeated when third last start over 1000m at Pinjarra Scarpside. Terrific chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Estimator.
