GOING:

TRADELINK HANDICAP 1200m

Track:     Rail: True.  

Strong tempo assured from King Cartel and Roey Clam leading the charge. CLOSE TALKER (7) booted up from the inside draw to sit on the speed last start then went on to register a determined win by half a length at this track over 1200m. Going well and should give a bold sight again. GREAT EDITION (8) finished fourth two runs back at Ascot then improved last time out to score by 0.6 lengths as favourite after being prominent at the corner over 1435m at this track. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. PLAY DICE (3) was below her best last time, finishing tenth over 1200m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. HEWILLDOUS (11) produced another moderate effort last start when 6 lengths from the winner in 13th over 1200m at Belmont Park. Well placed to bounce back. ROMMEL'S GODDESS (6) was solid on resumption and can feature again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Close Talker can go back-to-back.
