GOING: G(4)

RACING WA-PROVINCIAL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES FINAL 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: +2m Entire.  

Looks should find the front with Belta Of A Song and Pro Is Here on his heels. Tricky race the feature. PSYCHO SISTA (13) may have the upside that some of her rivals lack and that could hold her in good stead. She bolted in second-up last campaign and has the early speed to roll across from barrier 12. McNaught knows her well and she can bounce back to winning ways. PLATINUM SHOT (2) is hard to knock with her form this campaign and should get a lovely run. She brings in strong Saturday form when narrowly beaten and can track Psycho Sista across from the barrier. Pike rides and she's a winning hope. TREBLE MAKER (16) was too good in a heat at Kalgoorlie, winning by 1.1L when running over the top. She's drawn well for the in-form jockey and she'll put her best foot forward right down in the weights. BELTA OF A SONG (4) was only fair first-up but she improves with racing and getting up in trip. Won't be far away. SECRET ATTIRE (14) was solid fresh at Kalgoorlie and looks an improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Psycho Sista in the feature.

The race before that favourite; ran on from midfield and won by a neck at Ascot Grad Hcp 60+ April 26 over 1200m defeating Ahyeahrighto carrying 55kg at $3.80. Draw is a niggle but she's a leading chance.

Recent form sound. Most recently favourite; won by 1.1 len at Kalgoorlie Prov Champ Heat May 3 over 1200m defeating Sure Thing with 52.5kg at $2.70. The race before that favourite; raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 1.3 len at Kalgoorlie Cl2 April 25 over 1200m in soft going defeating Dream Brook carrying 59kg at $2.05. Hard to knock her form this time in and can win again.
