GOING: H(8)

TAB RACING CLUB 2100m

Track: HEAVY     Out 6m  

Keen speed battle, with Quick Fire, Muse and No Plan Be prominent. HIGH COUNTRY (1) is a big improver on his honest fresh-up run. Class dropper in this. Won his Maiden second up. Big chance here without a doubt. PROBOY (5) is a multiple class dropper in this on last start. Top two must in this line up. Each-way no matter the footing. POETIC JUSTICE (3) won his last start here as a Maiden in this very grade. Can cope with the 2kg increase today. Each-way on dry or wet ground. VISTOWN (7) has been racing well for a while now. Can handle most types of footing too. Trifecta and first four must in this. NO PLAN BE (10) has been consistent for a while. Include her everywhere wide draw and all in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: High Country and Proboy are win wagers.
