GOING: S(5)

RACING WA PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONSHIP HEAT 1300m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: +1m Entire.  

Pat's Last Bang has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. RAINLINE (3) led them up at Ascot last time out and ran away to score by 4.1L. Nottle went full throttle there, leading the field and giving nothing else a chance. Needs some luck from the barrier, but will be fitter for the fresh run and can repeat the dose. HISTORY WON'T CARE (1) disappointed last start when getting a long way back following a strong win at Belmont two starts back. Pike reunites now and he's never missed the placings when riding. Ticks plenty of boxes from the inside draw and can bounce back in a big way. FEARLESS TALK (8) is looking for the hat-trick after a 0.4L victory at Pinjarra 25 days ago. The form out of that race has been superb with 4 winners from 7 starters since. Has some early toe and can make her presence felt. FOREVER DREAMING (4) is better than she's shown her past couple and make some appeal coming back in trip off a freshen. CHERYL'S SHOUT (9) can improve on the fresh effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rainline can make it back-to-back wins.

Returns from a 32-day let-up. Last start ran last of 11 at Ascot Rtg 66+ on April 1 over 1400m, slow going 6 len behind Yougivemechills carrying 56.5kg at $11. The race before that ran on from midfield and won by 2 len at Belmont Park Cl3 C&G March 4 over 1400m defeating Fifth Essence carrying 60.5kg at $3.90. Much easier here and looks poised to strike with Pike back on board.
