GOING: G(4)

Life Member Mr Barry Tarranto Maiden 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: +3m Entire. (Pent: 4.58)  

Not a great deal of early speed and Raging Waters may be the one that takes it up. Wide open but VERHOEVEN (5) looks close to a win and is worth following up. Has hit the line hard to finish runner-up at both runs this time in and the rise to 1400m looks perfect now. Expected to go close. LORD HEAR US (1) was safely held before a spell on the synthetic. Prior to that though had shown plenty of ability. Fitter for a good trial and the 1400m ideal fresh. PLAYED STRONG (10) was fair fresh then ran a much improved race second-up. Looks close to hitting top and is among the main chances. BIG OLIVE (9) ran a much-improved race at just her second outing and has further upside. MONCLERE (2) is a 15 start maiden but placed last two and can sneak into the finish at odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Verhoeven.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run held ground to the line 3rd of 13 at Launceston Mdn-Sw on November 26 over 1400m, 5.5 len behind Beneficiary carrying 58.5kg at $8. The start before that made ground from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Launceston Mdn-Sw on November 21 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Zanzi carrying 55.5kg at $4.60. Has had plenty of tries but not far away lately and looks a contender.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old filly by Needs Further out of Power Transformer. At the most recent trial finished fifth on November 25 at Hobart over 1400m. Hasn't shown a great deal in trials leading up to this and inclined to invest in others barring market move.
