GOING: G

XMAS IN JULY TICKETS THROUGH TRYBOOKING HANDICAP 1600m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: +7m Entire. (Pent: 7.60)  

Pace looks genuine from Dandy's Gem, Offenbach and Highly Spoken, closely attended by Wynn Las Vegas. WYNN LAS VEGAS (1) went through to the WA Derby two back before dropping right back to 1400m last start off a freshen. Now back out to a mile where he was a dominant winner at this track and trip before taking the Derby path. Looks ready to bounce back to his best form. AUTUMN GEM (9) returned with a good performance at Bunbury when she closed late to finish only 0.3L off the winner. Out to the mile now looks perfect and this race looks to set up nicely from the barrier. Can raise the bar again now and can get the job done. JAZZ ME BABY (12) was too good last start when out to 1700m and comes back a touch in distance today. She rates highly on her latest effort though and if she can run up to that level again, she'll be hard to hold out. SHIMONOSEKI (10) finished off strongly two back before jumping favourite last start in a tougher event. Can fire a shot coming back in grade. OLD MATE HENRY (2) can improve on the fresh run. SUGGESTED PLAY: Wynn Las Vegas can get the job done.
