GOING: G(4)

GERALDTON & CHAMPION BAY FREEMASON LODGES HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 27)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo set by Sanabeau and Kentucky Blue. SCURGEOFTHEWEST (1) flew home from the tail to win by 0.7L last start, making it four wins in a row. He drops in weight here as he returns to a ratings race and the form out of his last start has been impressive. Can continue his winning ways. KENTUCKY BLUE (6) was strong from the front over 1417m last start at this track and the inside draw should see him close to the speed once again. He drops 3kg for this event and See knows him well. He appears the main danger. LET'S SEA (10) got the job done in a photo finish last start when the race favourite. He's likely to get back from the draw which is the query, but he remains down in the weights and he can feature in the finish once again. THE RUSH (5) has to be included after a good win last time out. BUTTERFLYROCK (3) comes back in trip today and is in the mix on her best form. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Scurgeofthewest in the last.

Recent form sound. Most recently ran on from midfield and won by a neck at this track Rtg 58+ February 28 over 1417m defeating Sparkle Corner carrying 55kg at $8. The start before that made some head-way from midfield; 3rd of 10 at this track Rtg 57+ on February 19 over 1600m, 4 len behind Let's Sea carrying 55.5kg at $11. Needs some luck from out wide but she has to be included on her latest effort.
