The South Coast Food Services Handicap over 1300m and Royal Wing and Hackett’s Heart are the major chances. Both are trained by Brendan Corver and both boast terrific local form. Spice Trade is open to improvement second up while Tanganyika performed well in a recent trial for Fiona Scott.
Race Two is the KJ Norton Building Company Handicap and Put Option is the likely favourite after winning so impressively at his most recent start. Twice The Speed is a recent winner but looked disappointing last time. This looks easier though and she should play a part in the finish. Fringe candidates look to be the Corver trained Lady Berthe and Damon’s Halo and it’s hard to envisage any other galloper filling a place.
The Quaddie commences on Race Three, the Kleenwest Distributors Handicap over 1200m. Donargy boasts impeccable form and last start was narrowly defeated by the in-form Carminemadonna at Albany. His Esperance strike rate is solid and he will take a power of beating. Summer Crossing won well last start and Dane Crusher caught the eye first up when second. Billyaintsilly and Moss Street are the other two horses that should atleast be considered for Quaddie calculations.
The OD Transport Maiden will be run over the 1600m journey. Pure Fandango showed abundant speed last start before wilting late to just miss out on a placing. End Of Fashion and Sarabella haven’t been far away while Cyclos is sure to appreciate the longer distance. The Don Whitfield trained Flanno looked the winner last start but ran out of puff over the concluding stages. He will strip fitter and looms as a legitimate winning hope.
Race Five is sponsored by Elders Rural Supplies and Burnzy is sure to have plenty of support. He has won twice already this season and the services of top rider Brett Mathews. Our Calendar Girl won over 1700m at Narrogin on Australia Day and she was placed at Esperance last start. Saltwater Cowboy wasn’t too far away and might improve while Silver Ambush could not have been more impressive last start when an effortless winner. The Debbie Warnes trained eight year old gets in well with just 54kg and will be running on powerfully.
The South East Petroleum Handicap wraps things up at 5:18pm and Outside Influence is going to be in the firing line for a long way. The four year old mare has enjoyed a consistent season and possesses plenty of early speed. Landmark Lady, San Supremo and Tashi Delek will provide some resistance but Outside Influence should get the job done. Don’t forget Saturday week is Express Yourself Printing Esperance Cup Day !
Early selections ; Hackett’s Heart, Put Option, Donargy, Pure Fandango, Silver Ambush and Outside Influence.
