MCDONALDS TAMWORTH SUPER MAIDEN SHOWCASE PLATE 1000m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

The speedy Isadami should find the front with Showtime Sassy and Clemmie on her heels. ISADAMI (7) six-start maiden mare who looks placed to advantage today. Went out hard in the soft (6) going before tiring late when second over 1200m here on April 8. Gets all the favours again and no excuses back to the 1000m. GREAT SOUTHERNLAND (3) consistent gelding resuming from a three month break. Up in grade and trip when a tiring seventh over 1400m at Grafton on January 28. Since placed in a recent 946m trial at Grafton and has a tidy first-up record. Gets every chance from the draw. SHOWTIME SASSY (10) returns after six months in the paddock. Will relish the sharp drop in class after having mixed luck on the provincial circuit at her last four runs. Placed first-up and has the ability to take this out. ALERTADO (1) five-start maiden who looks ready to win. Anchored with the 59kg when a gritty second over 1000m here on April 8. Expected to play a leading role again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,3,10,1.

Racing well. At the latest run sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 11 at this track Ctry Mdn-Sw on April 8 over 1000m, slow going 0.9 len behind Great Siege with 59kg at $14. The race before that 4th of 11 at Walcha Supermartin Mdn on February 9 over 1000m, 4 len behind Distant carrying 58.5kg at $51. Not beaten far last start and worth including.

Back from a long spell. Only had one start last campaign raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 7 at Wyong Super Mdn on September 1 over 1200m, 6 len behind Balkans with 59.5kg at $8. First up last campaign on from midfield; 2nd of 13 at Gosford Prov Mdn on January 13 2023 over 1200m, head behind Du Jour Idea carrying 58kg at $5.50. Was runner-up in a trial at Scone on April 17 over 1000m. Useful type who should go well.

Resumes after a break of three months and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation seventh of 10 at Grafton Super Mdn January 28 over 1400m, soft track; 5 len behind Texas Fireball with 58.5kg at $9. When resuming last campaign second of 12 at Coffs Harbour Mdn December 16 over 1012m, 2.25 len behind The Wolf with 58.5kg at $4. Could prove too smart for these.

Second-up. First-up after seven months raced on the pace before fading 7th of 13 at Taree Mdn on April 2 over 1000m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Solar Power carrying 56kg at $6. Previously second-up 3rd of 12 at Tuncurry Ctry Mdn on September 8 over 1000m, 1.2 len behind Noci Di Cocco with 54.5kg at $8. Unlikely to threaten.

Going well. At the latest run rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 10 at this track Mdn on April 8 over 1200m, slow going 2.25 len behind Arctic Legend carrying 54kg at $15. The run before that set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 7 at Armidale Mdn-Sw on March 18 over 1100m, on a slow track; neck behind Figment carrying 55.5kg at $5. Top chance on her best efforts.

Was at very long odds at debut, sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 11 at Wyong Mdn on April 11 over 1000m, 9 len behind Keysborough with 56.5kg at $101. Might need more time based on that poor debut.
