GOING: S(6)

BISLEY WORKWEAR HANDICAP 1650m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: +13m Entire. (Pent: 5.70)  

Expecting Worcester to take up the running with Dashing Erika and Henry Has Spoken close at hand. KERVETTE (6) lit up the clock with an impressive display on her stable debut, scoring impressively over 1300m at Northam in this grade. The rise in trip is no issue, though the draw makes things tricky with her racing pattern. Will need some luck, but if her sectionals last start are anything to go by, she'll take beating again. WORCESTER (4) was good first-up as favourite when just missed over 1500m at Pinjarra last week. He hasn't won for a while, but he's constantly around the mark and the fresh effort suggested he's right on the cusp. Can put his best foot forward again. DECISION MAKER (2) won well two back before a 0.5L defeat last start at Northam. This is tougher, but he'll handle the going and he's building nicely. GLANCED (9) can bounce back to form with the rise in trip and an inside gate. DASHING ERIKA (3) has claims off a good last start effort from the front. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kervette looks the one to beat.
