GOW-GATES FRANK PACKER PLATE 2000m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 7m 1000m-W/Post. Out 5m Remainder. (Pent: 5.45).  

Expecting Texas Fireball and Harlow Mist to pair off in front. Group 1 placegetter TANNHAUSER (1) showed a glimpse of what he's capable of when charging late from well back to secure second over 1600m in the G3 Carbine Club Stakes on a heavy (9) track here two weeks ago. At his peak now and will relish the 2000m. Group 2 placegetter KINTYRE (4) is a consistent gelding due for a change of luck. Dragged back from the wide gate when loomed strongly to finish third over 1600m in the G3 Carbine Club Stakes here two weeks ago. Gets map favours today and is a genuine top-three prospect. NOISY BOY (2) ranged up strongly in the G2 Tulloch to finish second two runs back before battling in the heavy (8) going when eighth over 2400m here in the G1 ATC Derby on April 6. Looks good each-way value. OUR GOLD HOPE (13) Group 3 placegetter. Finished fifth last start in the Vinery Stud Stakes over 2000m at Rosehill, beaten 4 lengths by Orchestral. In the mix on best form. Have to include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,4,2,13.
