Mandurah Race 11

We Stand With Tasmania

Prize Money: $4,470

GOLD SMIRCH (2) won by 4.5 lengths last start at Northam 297m in a good 17.32. Hot win latest and looks the one to beat again. SYDNEY KEEPING (6) settled off speed and collided with another runner before powering home to a one length win (22.86) at this track in a Grade 5. Has the ability and looks a key chance. SPEED BYTE (1) is a talented type and proved too classy last time to win by a nose at this track in a handy 22.85 beating Magic Grip. Yet to win out of this box but has been in the placings two times from four starts. Has hit winning form and can measure up again. SUNSET VENDETTA (8) is not to be discarded.

Was prominent from the outset and held on well to win at Northam over 297m in 17.32 last start, beating Bruiser My Uncle. The form from last run stacks up well. Hard to beat.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage fifth last time out over 400m at this track. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
