GOING: G(4)

CARBINE CLUB OF WA HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 30)   Rail: +16m Entire Cutaway Applies.  

Strong tempo assured with Sister Talk and Lieutenant Dunbar leading the way over One Above All. SISTER TALK (11) sat up on the speed last start at this track and trip and ran away to win by 1.3L. She was favourite there and put them to the sword. She looks open to further improvement and while she's drawn awkwardly, she can get the job done again. CAMERA ACTION (5) rattled home from well back to just miss in a good race over 1200m here a fortnight ago. She has a good second-up record and the better barrier should suit her. Can sit closer this time and won't be far away. LOVA SESSION (1) never fired a shot first-up when well back throughout and finished 2.4L off the winner. Fitter, further and a better gate are all ticks with Pike sticking. Can put herself in the finish this time. LE MESSAGER (3) was only fair in her trial coming in, but this trip suits fresh. Can feature if she brings her Victorian ratings. YOUGIVEMECHILLS (10) is better than he showed last time out and can bounce back to form with the blinkers on first time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Sister Talk.
