TAB TELEBET 0861 000 822 MR 68 HANDICAP 1900m

Track: AW      

The speedy trio Nothingelsematters, Puerto Plata and Alado's Pride can set the pace from the outset. SLAINTE MHATH (8) was doing his best work late when third in his last start over 2000m on this course. He takes on weaker opposition and if repeating that effort he should prove hard to beat. PUERTO PLATA (2) pushed forward last time to race up on the speed and finished a neck from the winner at this track. Should prove hard to beat. HAROLD THE DUKE (5) lifted to score narrowly by a neck last time out at this track and rates well as an each-way chance. NOTHINGELSEMATTERS (1) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing sixth at Fairview. Has place claims.
