GOING: N

Tasmanian Horse Transport BM68 Handicap 1350m

Track: SYNTHETIC     Rail: True.  

Expecting Carneros to go forward and set a moderate early tempo. Competitive. LI'L HAIL MARY (9) has threatened but starts this preparation and drops back to a sprint on a 7-day return. Has a handy gate and a 3kg claimer replaces Newitt. A winning chance. SQUARE DONUT (3) resumed this track/trip with a dominant win. He rates strongly and is proven second-up. The niggle with him is the outside gate. GALLANT WARRIORS (4) has the ability but has been giving away starts. Good enough if things go his way. CARNEROS (1) also holds some appeal and is worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Li'l Hail Mary.
