GOING: S(6)

PETERS INVESTMENTS HANDICAP 1800m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: +5m Entire. (Pent: 6.50)  

Moderate pace with Endless Joy taking up the running ahead of Chantel and Redback Flyer. REDBACK FLYER (9) has come into his own in his last couple of starts with a pair of easy wins at Pinjarra on both courses there. He was runner-up on this track when resuming from a spell and will relish stepping up to a middle distance for the first time. He drops 3kg and the hat-trick beckons. BAYHARA (3) found the right race at Geraldton 10 days ago and unleashed with a quick turn of foot to score by over 7 lengths. This race is much harder, but a similar performance would make her hard to beat again. AUDIO BOY (2) is a consistent gelding who caught the eye with a solid late run to finish fourth at Pinjarra-Scarpside 8 days ago. William Pike steps into the irons for the first time, and the pair merits healthy respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bayhara each-way.
