GOING: G(3)

Amaroo Tavern Hcp (C2) 1200m

Track: GOOD 3   Thundershowers Early   Rail: True.  

Early speed is anticipated from Shear Vogue. MELTED MOMENTS dropped back in distance last time and it paid off with a fast finishing win at Ballina. Back a little in trip again but his record at this range is strong and he does look to have some upside. An open betting event here. MELTED MOMENTS came from well back to win last start. He appreciated the drop back in journey. He can sit forward but maybe ridden back is better. IWATANI will get a good run all the way. He goes well for Kody Nestor and has the blinkers off today. OUR RISING STAR improved sharply ten days ago. The three year olds have been beating the older horses. TRUE JOY is never far away in her races. She has several gear changes and could well race a bit closer. SUGGESTED PLAY: Win bet Melted Moments - he can continue the progress.
