GOING:

TAB VENUE MODE PACE 1720m

Track: GOOD      

TIGER PRINCE (7) has been close-up in two starts here since a spell, beaten 2.2m from this row when fresh before he finished 3.7m off the winner last week. Has won third-up before so should be approaching peak fitness and draws for a trail. Can win if he gets the gaps. BARA RILEY (10) is racing well. Returned to winning form at this circuit and distance two back then stepped up in trip for third from this row last week. Contender. GREY CADILLAC (6) draws wider but was very good here last week when edged out by just a nose. DUFFY HOLLOW (5) got it wrong at the start last start but had placed in two of his previous three outings at Bathurst so can do better.
