Kalgoorlie Race 3 - The Shoe Bar Athol & Gerry Higgins Memorial (Bm70+)
CLOSE AT HAND (2) was a touch slow into stride, but that didn't matter last start when bolting in by 3.5L at this track and trip. She rises in weight, but it's hard to see anything turning the tables on her from last start after jumping the $1.50 favourite. Drawn perfectly and can repeat the dose. ONEMOREFORLEO (5) comes back to the 1400m journey after being narrowly beaten over 1760m last time out. He boasts a strong record at this track and trip however and he gets in light after the 4kg claim. Can be in the finish if he holds his form back in distance. EEVALINA (4) will find this a touch easier than recent efforts when beaten 3.1L in Saturday company at Pinjarra 22 days ago. Faithfull rides now and her recent form stacks up highly. Out in trip, but can make her presence felt. HIGH PRESSURE (3) is ticking along nicely and won't be far away. VILLEINS (1) was sound here fresh and can improve with the run under his belt.

Last start came home strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 8 at this track Rtg 70+ on May 25 over 1400m, 5 len behind Close At Hand with 57kg at $4.80. The race before that ran last in a small field at this track Rtg 70+ on May 18 over 1100m, 3 len behind Baalbek carrying 57kg at $5.50. Should be at his top now and is among the chances.
