GOING: G

CARBINE CLUB OF WA HANDICAP 2100m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 27)   Rail: +2m Entire.  

Solid pace with Cheyne Bay booting up on the inside of Fey King. TAHNI TALK (7) finished off strongly from the back of the pack when running behind a smart one who jumped favourite in a Derby lead-up last time out. Out to 2100m now looks ideal for him and it wouldn't surprise to see him sit closer in the run. Has plenty of upside and can return to winning ways. FEY KING (2) steps out in trip today which looks a good move on his form from last campaign. He's building nicely after a very long time off and this looks a good opportunity for him to return to the winners' list. ETERNAL ROMANCE (11) got the job done in a photo here two back before a 0.3L defeat most recently at Ascot. Back to the scene of the crime today and she has enough speed to roll across from the wide draw. Can go one better today. CHEYNE BAY (1) dropped back to 1800m last start and was too good. Back out to this distance now but he can go close if he runs up to his latest figures. ROYAL SPLENDOUR (3) is not out of this on her latest efforts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tahni Talk looks the one to beat in the last.

Recent form sound. Most recently 4th of 11 at Ascot 0Mwly on March 11 over 1600m, 2 len behind Defending carrying 55.5kg at $7. The start before that led but faded 2nd of 13 at this track Cl1 on February 25 over 1600m, 1.5 len behind Space Academy carrying 60kg at $7. Right out in trip now is interesting, though Pike's booking is a good push.

Third-up today. Resuming settled well back; won by 0.5 len at Pinjarra Scarpside Mdn February 22 over 1400m defeating Shenton Road with 57kg at $6.50. Second run from a spell 3rd of 10 at this track Cl1 on March 4 over 1650m, 5 len behind Sentimental Legend carrying 60kg at $2.60. Rates highly. Behind a smart one last start and this looks right up his alley.

Form hard to fault. Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 13 at Ascot Rtg 50+ on March 11 over 2200m, neck behind Savorski with 57.5kg at $4.60. Before that came from midfield and won by a nose at this track Rtg 53+ February 25 over 2100m defeating My De Grece with 55kg at $3.80. Proven at this trip and looks a major player on her recent form.
