GOING: G

TAB SAME RACE MULTI HANDICAP 1206m

Track: SYNTHETIC   Clear (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Hot pace certain with Tango On, Into The Fire and Yael's Delight keen to take up the running. TANGO ON (4) wasn't beaten far in a similar race to this back in March and has been tackling provincial grade since. The inside draw is a big tick for him and getting back on top of the ground looks a good move. Can sit up front on the Acton surface and prove tough to run down. CHAIRMAN'S LIST (1) missed in a photo two back before a 1.8L defeat at Moruya most recently in a BM66. The wide draw is a query, but he possesses some early speed and he can make his presence felt. TIS NO MAN (2) returns a gelding after showing glimpses of talent through his debut campaign. He disappointed at the end of last campaign but that ended up being a strong form race. Has more upside than these and can play a leading role. JACOB JOE (12) is racing in good order and has to be included. INTO THE FIRE (8) is also racing well at this level and if he can stretch his form, he'll be in this for a long way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tango On gets the nod.
