GOING: N

Tasmanian Horse Transport BM60 Handicap 1150m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Chicane and Duncannon to battle for the lead at a cracking tempo over this sprint journey. Competitive. CORNELIAN BAY (1) resumes and has won 3/5 fresh. Has won 3/4 this course and distance and draws to advantage can add to that record. BAO BUN (13) resumed on the turf in good order and has more up the sleeve. The outside gate makes it tougher but she does possess enough early speed to position forward. POWER MAGNUM (12) is back in grade and has been knocking on the door. Likes it here and keeps the handy 3kg claim. MANDATE (9) also draws wide but can skip across and also keeps a 3kg claim. Placed on the turf the latest and can build on that. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Cornelian Bay.
