GOING: G(3)

Get The Tabtouch (Bm72+) 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear   Rail: Out 9m. (Pent: 6.6).  

Good competitive affair to round out the day's proceedings with a host of leading chances. Speed anticipated from Agachar Cruz, Flying Roar, It's It and Shady Grey. DEZZIES DREAM finished seventh here last start however she wasn't beaten all that far (1.8L) and like the way she has been kept fresh for this (28 days). Drawn to receive all the favours and rates highly on best form. Expecting her to bounce right back. Speed from wide out with Agachar Cruz pushing on, It's It will be up there and the likes of Flying Roar and Woolibar can also be handy. They should roll along and that would suit RED PADDY who won over this course easily two starts back. Looks hard to hold out. IT'S IT gave a good account fresh then was outclassed at Listed level second-up. Should be prominent here. DEZZIES DREAM won nicely when resuming but her two runs since have been below par. Capable of improvement and is worth one more chance. Agachar Cruz can't be overlooked and Shady Gray is capable of finishing over the top of them. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen to play both Dezzies Dream and Red Paddy.
