GOING: S(5)

TABTOUCH - HAVE YOU GOT THE TOUCH HANDICAP 1300m

Track: SOFT5   Clear (Max: 17)   Rail: +15m with cutaway.  

Looks a keen contest with Magnachine and Lady Negroni pressing for the lead with Pennies Galore and Surround Me close at hand. SURROUND ME (10) was a good winner fresh before a 1.3L defeat last start when back to 1000m down the Pinjarra straight. Up to 1300m now looks a good move third-up into the campaign and Pike remains in the saddle. Can sit off the speed and bounce back to winning ways. STATE OF FURY (9) is racing in good order without winning, beaten 0.7L at Pinjarra last start over 1500m. Back in trip today is a query, but she rates highly on recent figures and if he can hold that form, she'll be right in the finish. IMPOSSIBLE DREAM (2) resumes without a trial but has shown good ability in her recent races. The booking of Parnham suggests she's ready to fire on resumption and she can play a leading role. ZOUCONI (3) won well two back and tried her hand in Open 3YO grade last start. Back in grade now and she can feature. LIPSTICK JUNGLE (7) is racing well and is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Surround Me can get back to winning ways.
