GOING: G(4)

RACING WA PROVINCIAL SERIES HEAT 1200m

Track: GOOD 4     Rail: +4m Entire.  

Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Mighty Hosanna. GOD HAS DRIFTED (2) made it two wins in succession last time out when he scored by 1.4 lengths over 1100m at Albany. Made up a stack of ground, and he draws inside today and keeps the handy 2kg claim. Taking on a better line-up this time, but he is still improving, and this looks well within his reach. CORNER OFF (6) is a former Victorian who was fresh from a break of nearly two years when beaten 2 lengths into second over 1000m at Belmont Park. She's sure to have taken improvement, and the extra journey should play into her hands. Races forward, and her Melbourne metro form reads strongly for this. MIGHTY HOSANNA (10) just missed a place over 1200m at Belmont, following her all- the-way win here. She's likely to skip over and control the race and is sure to give a big sight. SO NATAYA (11) will also push forward and has been around the mark without winning. The winkers come off, and Chris Parnham sticking aboard is a positive. A hope if she found her best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with God Has Drifted
