WITTENS IRRIGATION & DESIGN HANDICAP 1675m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True. (Pent: 7.60)  

Dark Missile, Mr Talentino and Pray Again can settle forward in a race lacking a designated leader. OISIN (2) has just missed his past couple over this trip and is inching closer to another victory. He's played the role of Bridesmaid recently, however the figures he's running stack right up in this field. The wide draw is a niggle, but he's hard to be against on his recent form. MASTER TACTICIAN (7) ran over the top to score by 0.9L at this track last time out. The wide draw means he'll be back in the run once again, but a good tempo should be good enough to see him running home over the top. KERMELIA (11) drops right back in trip today after a couple of good efforts at Northam recently. Chis Parnham rides now and while she may end up back in the run, she'll be very strong late in the race. YALLINGUP GIRL (12) disappointed last start but is better than that. Claim comes in handy and she can bounce back to form back in grade. MR TALENTINO (10) was sound first-up and can build on that performance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Oisin can win the last.
