GOING: G

Light Horse Brigade TROBIS Handicap 1300m

Track: Good   Clouds (Max: 31)   Rail: True.  

Jenadar to take charge ahead of Super Defense at a solid tempo. TANNENBURG (1) did nothing fresh up at Alice Springs nearly 3 weeks ago despite being well found in the market. He is having his first start on what is his new home track, and is good enough to bounce back and take this out. SPIRIT BEAST (3) ran on too late fresh up in his first local start for new trainer Chris Nash nearly a fortnight ago. The extra 100m will suit him, and he can figure in the top 3 this time. PHYSICAL GRAFFITI (2) is a stablemate of the top pick and is the choice of stable jockey Jarrod Todd. The pair were winning by a head here last time out, and can easily repeat the dose in a similar lineup. MISS MOOV (4) was an overdue winner 2 starts back before missing the kick from a wide draw and finishing last on this track 7 weeks ago. She has the pole position this time and is worth including in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tannenburg to win.

Second-up. First-up after two months ran last of 10 at Alice Springs 3&4yo Bm68 on April 5 over 1600m, 14 len behind Vanguard Legend with 61kg at $3.90. Previously second-up 7th of 12 at Sunshine Coast 3&4yo CG&E Cl4-Sw on January 4 over 1300m, on a slow track; 5 len behind Redford with 57kg at $26. Will take a lot from that run and looks tough to beat.
