Become A DTC Member Handicap 1200m

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

Cracking tempo looks assured with many of these capable of pushing on early. Small field but good race. TIME TO BACA (5) is chasing a hat-trick and may well be the better value of the two fancied runners. Has won three of her last four for the new yard, the latest leading throughout to score in a Class 2 by eight lengths. Kept fresh for this and best figures stack up. It's not hard to see why JUMPING POWER TWO (1) wouldn't be well fancied having won four from four since coming to the NT. Won this class leading throughout latest and off the inside draw will take catching again. PHYSICAL GRAFFITI (3) ran well last time getting home second behind Patriotic King and freshened since. Rates highly and will be winding up strongly. MIAMI BABY (6) has run on well at both runs this time in and placed at each. Should be at his top and gets a chance. KESSLER (4) was placed here fresh and strips trimmer. Expected to improve sharply. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Time To Baca.
