GOING: N

Tasmanian Horse Transport Class 1 Handicap 1150m

Track: AW     Rail: True.  

Getcha Groove On to take up the running with Red Fox and Billie The Great close at hand. COOL CONQUEST (2) needed her first run back from a spell here nearly 2 weeks ago and will be better for it. Stepping up to 1150m will suit her, and she will be among the hardest to beat. BILLIE THE GREAT (7) has just battled in her last couple of starts over 1400m and may be better off being kept to 1200m for now. The blinkers are off, and she has been placed on this poly track twice in the past. A 3kg claim will help, and she can bounce straight back into the money here. PLATINUM REGGAE (5) built strongly to his first win here nearly 2 weeks ago. He has plenty left in the tank at the finish that day, and looks to have the scope to go on with the job. RED FOX (6) finished second fresh up here for a new trainer and will be trying to make a better start this time. He is usually sharper with a run under his belt, and he can go one better. GETCHA GROOVE ON (3) had a fairly tough trip last time out on this course but stuck on bravely to finish third. Stick with her on an each way basis. SUGGESTED PLAY: Billie The Great each way.
