GOING: S(5)

TAB Class 3 Handicap 800m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 31)   Rail: +6.5 metres Entire Course. (Pent: 5.67)  

Toyger and Runaround Sue should set a strong tempo. The well-related RUNAROUND SUE (4) (half to G3 winner Thiamandi) got a well-deserved victory last time out and has only missed a drum once in eight starts over this sprint journey. Rates the major threat in this line-up. TOYGER (2) is having his first run for the new stable but is a last-start winner who should be high on confidence. Keep very safe with Tilley on board. LEVAR (1) was a touch disappointing at the latest outing but the form prior was full of merit. Certainly worth another chance in this small field. ALBION SQUARE (5) has won over this course and distance and is best of the rest while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Runaround Sue.

At the latest run favourite; won by 2.75 len at Kempsey Bm50 November 29 over 1000m defeating Seeni with 60.5kg at $2.70. Before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 10 at Wellington Cl3 Bm66 on November 16 over 1000m, 2.75 len behind Pelette carrying 56kg at $10. Can play a big role again.
