GOING: S(5)

TYLER LEWIS MEMORIAL HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: Out 14m Entire. (Pent: 6.7).  

Solid early tempo with Good Vibes and Cher capable of leading the way. ALWAYS AWESOME (2) has been racing in much tougher company his past couple and should enjoy the drop back to midweek grade. He maps to get every chance under Turner and he has multiple efforts this campaign that are up to winning this. He's the one to beat. ELBOW LOUNGE (1) should be ready to peak now third-up after a strong effort at Pinjarra most recently. Where he gets to from the draw is the question, but he's laid down a great platform to run a new peak in this. Appears the main danger. CHER (6) has been just fair this time in but looks to have found her race today. 21 days between runs seems ideal and her best figures are good enough to be winning this. Should be right in the finish. GOOD VIBES (8) can improve on what she showed at Pinjarra last time out. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Always Awesome in the last.
