AFGRI CHRISTMAS IN JULY - LONG TABLE LUNCHEON 18TH JULY HANDICAP 1600m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 16)   Rail: Out 8m Entire; Cutaway Applies.  

No recognised leader which leaves it to Snip Of Gossip to set the tempo. IDYLLIC RULER (2) has run on well from a long way back in his past couple and now draws a much better barrier today. His run at this track and trip last start was solid and the 1.5kg claim of Gaerth comes in handy. Can be closer today than he has been recently and land the knockout punch. COSMIC CHAOS (1) was far too good at Pinjarra (S) last start when scoring by 1.3L over 1800m. Back a furlong today which is the niggle, but he'll be in a good position in the run and he won't be far away if he can run up to recent efforts. ROCK DEE JAY (6) is on the quick turnaround following a 1L defeat at Pinjarra last time out. He hasn't won for a long time, but he looks to have his hoof on the till and the senior jock hopping on board is a tick. Can make his presence felt again. DARK LOOKS (7) went close here a fortnight ago and warrants plenty of respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Idyllic Ruler.

Third-up today. Resumes off a 43 day letup. Resuming 2nd of 11 at Pinjarra Mdn on April 24 over 1600m, 2.5 len behind Sandfire Rose with 58kg at $16. Second-up ran on from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Pinjarra Scarpside Cl1 May 15 over 1800m defeating Cherry Can Run with 59kg at $26. Solid prospects and a good gate doesn’t hurt.
