GOING: G

WESTERN RACEPIX HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD3   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo set by Sky River and Scenic Wings. LIM'S SARBACH (2) just missed over the 1213m journey here last start when flying late and should be suited by the rise in distance today. He jumped favourite there on the back of a strong fresh effort. Still building nicely and he looks poised to strike third-up into the campaign. CRAMPIN' MY STYLE (4) got the job done here fresh when favourite, sitting midfield and landing the knockout blow. Suspect similar tactics will be adopted here and the rise in trip looks ideal for this son of Ghaiyyath. Can build on the fresh performance. DEEP DISCRETION (3) is better than we saw last start and coming back to this trip looks a good move. He bumped into a smart one here two back and a return to that level would see him in the finish once again. SKY RIVER (10) can sit handy from the inside draw and be in this for a long way. SCENIC WINGS (7) can feature in the finish with improvement likely third-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lim's Sarbach can win the last.
