GOING: S(5)

CUPRUM DISTILLERY HANDICAP 1705m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: +6m with a cutaway.  

Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Panthera Tiger and Buckland. SHAMILIAN MISS (4) bounced back last start over 1400m at Pinjarra and now steps out to 1700m for the first time. Brad Parnham rides from a good draw which is a good push for her chances. Her breeding suggests the extra trip isn't an issue and with her upside, she can go one better this time. HIGHLY SPOKEN (1) got the job done in fine style as he rose to the mile at Pinjarra last start. He led them up there before kicking away to score impressively and this shapes as a similar set up. Hard to ignore last start and he can go on with the job. AMAZING CHEAT (3) is better than she showed last start when getting back in the run and flying late. She had a couple of issues there, so the gear changes should help her chances and a return to her best would see her right in the mix. SKY RIVER (5) was strong up front last start from a wide gate and can repeat the dose without surprising. SKY GOD (6) is better than he showed last time out and can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shamilian Miss looks the one to beat in the last.
