GOING: S(6)

TABTOUCH - WESTSPEED PLATINUM WINTER SERIES FINAL 1400m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 6.4).  

From the inside gate El Patron has enough dash to hold the lead, joined by Bird's The Word who won't give it up easily. VALDARENA (10) disappointed over this course and distance last start, finishing 4.8L off the winner. Her form prior was much better and overlooking one poor run looks the play. She has won on the quick back up previously and she still has plenty of upside. Can get back to winning ways. BIRD'S THE WORD (4) was only caught close to the line last start when sitting up on the speed. He should take up a front running position once again and the fact Chris Parnham sticks is a positive sign. Can make his presence felt if he runs up to recent efforts. SPECIAL SORT (2) returned in good order but was a little disappointing from the back last start at this course and distance. He should be improved third-up into the campaign and a drop back in grade looks to suit. Can put his best foot forward. EL PATRON (7) hasn't been far away throughout his last few runs and should get every chance from the draw. Include. RULING DAME (12) can improve off a solid first-up effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Valdarena.
