GOING: G(4)

UNITE RESOURCING HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: +16m Entire Cutaway Applies.  

Solid tempo anticipated with Dug Another Hole taking charge. HYMNS OF ELADDAIR (2) closed off well but just missed over 1200m here last time out. He was $1.60 there and the form has been solid since that outing. Pike sticks and getting up to 1400m looks a good move. Can improve again and go one better this time. WEMBANYAMA (3) rattled home from well back first-up for the new barn and should be better over this trip, if not further. The inside barrier can see him sit a touch closer and it wouldn't surprise to see him go one better. HEY PINO (4) ended up back in the pack last start at Pinjarra but just missed when favourite over this trip. Racing in good order and he can continue to improve. Can feature in the finish. DUG ANOTHER HOLE (1) got back to winning ways last start and he should give a bold sight from the front once again. STARWALKER (5) can improve on the first-up run and make his presence felt. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hymns Of Eladdair looks the one to beat.

Useful type. Last start tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a neck at Pinjarra Cl5 March 23 over 1300m defeating Pretty Devine carrying 59kg at $4.80. The run before that led to the turn then faded second last of 7 at Bunbury Grad Hcp 60+ on March 8 over 1400m, 2.75 len behind Premium Girl with 58kg at $12. Up in weight now but he'll make his own luck up on the speed.
