Mandurah Race 4

All Torque Engineering

Stake: $5,669

MERL'S LAD (2) was safely held last time out, finishing sixth at Cannington over 520m behind Echoes Of Dad (30.65) in a Novice race. Has claims if he runs up to expectations. KATITJIN (5) has mixed form recently, finishing eighth (31.16) in a Novice race at Cannington latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Expected to bounce back to best. MIDGEGOOROO ROAD (1) had a tricky draw and ran well to finish second, beaten 0.8 lengths, (27.95) at this track. Expected to be in this for a long way. TOXIC PARK (4) can play a role in the finish without surprising.

In the money last time at this track (27.95) in a Novice race, finishing a 0.8 lengths second. Yet to score but has placed each of two runs from this draw. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
