GOING: S(5)

KALGOORLIE MASTERS FOOTBALL CLUB HANDICAP 1400m

Track: SOFT5   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: +10m Entire.  

Elounda Star, I Never Dreamed and Everlasting Spirit can settle forward in a race lacking a designated leader. BONNY ROCK (7) has joined the local Peter Fernie stable after finishing fourth here on a soft track last week over this trip. Senior hoop Natasha Faithfull will replace an apprentice, and on a firmer surface, they should improve again. Can win. JET PLANES (4) has yet to fire in 2 starts back from a spell and will have the blinkers on for the first time. She will be peaking his fitness third up, and can put his best hoof forward in this. Each way. TANKSFORTHEMEMORY (1) did not fire here nearly 3 weeks ago and joined a lot of horses that did not back from racing at Esperance before that. He has the pole position and is good enough to make amends. I NEVER DREAMED (3) was third in her first local start after previously being trained in Victoria. She strips fitter and should pick up her next win at short notice. PRAY WITH YOU (6) has been steadily improving with racing and is ready to show hit best. Include in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bonny Rock to win.
