GOING: G(4)

YOUVE GOT THE TABTOUCH HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 20)   Rail: Out 4m Entire.  

Genuine tempo from Five Down leading With Discretion. WITH DISCRETION (9) got the job done in fine style on debut at Northam, winning by 0.7L as favourite. His form may have been franked by this point and Pike sticking is a big tick. May need some luck from the draw, but if things go his way he'll remain unbeaten. FIVE DOWN (3) tired late first-up over 1200m when and should appreciate stepping out to this trip second-up. He still has upside and he should get every chance from a nice draw for Chris Parnham. He looks the main danger. DATE WITHTHE DEVIL (6) was very impressive from the back at Kalgoorlie last start. He looks a horse on the way up and with a good tempo expected, he'll be very strong to the line under CJP. MORE LIKELY (4) is racing well and was a course and distance winner back on August 15. Worth including. WESTCOAST EXPRESS (8) can improve on what he did first-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing With Discretion in the last.
