GOING: S(5)

MARLSTON FORREST HANDICAP 1100m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: True. (Pent: 7.1).  

Strong early tempo from Elsa's Pride spearing over from an outside gate, with Saintly City also pushing up. HOSTILE TALK (3) rattled home from a long way back over 1014m here last time out and looks ready for the rise in trip now third-up into the campaign. CJP remains in the saddle and he has options from the alley. He has plenty of upside and with improvement likely, he can get the job done. SAINTLY CITY (4) can put himself on the speed from the barrier and is nicely placed with the 1.5kg claim. He is a winner over 1200m previously, so out to 1100m is no issue. Trending the right way and can put his best foot forward again. JELLY CAN RUN (2) got the job done impressively over 1214m here on June 12th when running on strongly from well back. There looks to be good pace engaged which should help his chances and he'll love any sting out of the ground. Right in the mix. LIGHTNING GOLD (8) can continue on his winning ways after a narrow victory at Kalgoorlie last start. TARARUA (6) is better than he showed last time out and the slight rise in trip should suit. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hostile Talk gets the nod.
