Mr Tadashi has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. IT IS TO BE (5) caught the eye two back at Bathurst when finishing with a head of steam. Is on a quick turnaround after a solid second over this trip at Bathurst. Ticking along nicely. DEVINE OUTCAST (4) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 2.3L away in seventh over the mile at Goulburn. Is on the rapid turnaround off four days and should be at top fitness now. MR TADASHI (1) failed to live up to expectations here last time when only managing fourth after being sent out fav, marking his first miss over this track and trip from four attempts. Had saluted with a hat-trick of wins here prior. Easy to forgive. WINNING POINT (2) finished third last start over the mile at Nowra when she did her best work late. Building the right way and could relish the rise in trip fourth-up. Genuine hope. SUGGESTED PLAY: It Is To Be to win.
