GOING: G(3)

Central West Bin Cleaning (C2) 1000m

Track: GOOD 3   Sunny (Max: 14)   Rail: True Position Entire Circuit. (Pent: 3.95).  

Wanna Get A What looks your leader with Levee Bank and Billesse thereabouts also. This start is on a gentle bend that continues to the home corner. Only a small field but it helps to be drawn inside, with the speed coming from gate two in the shape of Wanna Get A What. TAG AND RELEASE has not raced since recording a narrow win on debut over 1200m at Canberra as a very short priced favourite. Did a bit wrong that day but knuckled down when it counted. Raced on the speed that day so coming back to this distance will not be a problem. LEVEE BANK has been flying this prep and looks the danger. Scored a comfortable all-the-way win over 1200m at Wagga Riverside two starts back then took a sit then was forced wide when runner up over the same course and distance last start. Comes here off a 30 day freshen up so the drop back in distance looks suitable. The very speedy WANNA GET A WHAT will give them something to chase first up from a break. Has not raced since leading most of the way to score over this trip at Queanbeyan in October. Suited by this tight circuit. FRENCH HALO is the other main hope. LEVEE BANK made good headway from back in the field last start. Does have an electrifying sprint when right and should be rattling home here. FRENCH HALO next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tag And Release resuming.

Useful type. Comes off a 30 day let-up. Last start carried wide near turn and shifted in concluding stages; 2nd of 12 runners at Wagga Riverside Plate (C2) Jan 26 over 1200m, 2-1/4 len behind Fermanagh Lad carrying 55.5kg. Before that won by 1-1/4 len Wagga Riverside Hcp (C1) Jan 9 over 1200m defeating Kumo with 55.5kg. Looks a strong winning hope.

Having second run back today. First-up after nine months 6th of 8 starters at Bathurst F&M (Bm60) Jan 27 over 1300m, 4-3/4 len behind La La Loopsy carrying 55kg. Previously second-up came home strongly from last on the turn and won by 1-1/2 len (slowly away) Bathurst Hcp (C1) in Sep 2015 over 1100m defeating Clever Buttons with 54kg. Needs to find more at this stage of campaign.

Back from a spell. Finished off last campaign wide throughout; 4th in a small field at this track Hcp (Cl B) in Jan 2016 over 1300m, slow track; 1-3/4 len behind Orchybobba with 62kg. First up last campaign 8th of 10 starters at Bathurst F&M Mdn in Sep 2015 over 1300m, 6-3/4 len behind Moroccan Ruby with 52kg. Find this unsuitable. Not ready yet.

Last run overraced early, middle stages; 6th of 7 starters at Bathurst Hcp (C2) Feb 13 over 1300m, 5-1/4 len behind Jar Of Hearts carrying 54kg. Run before didn't do much in the run; 9th of 14 starters at Parkes Hcp (C2) Jan 21 over 1400m, 7-1/4 len behind Eagles Dare with 54kg. Can't recommend without improvement.

Last start raced on the pace before fading 7th of 8 runners at Queanbeyan (Bm53) Jan 28 over 1200m, 5-3/4 len behind Already Leica with 54kg. The run before ran last at this track Hcp (C2) Dec 27 over 1000m, 15 len behind Missy Rhythmos with 54kg. Win would surprise. Likely to need easier.
