CHAMPION TRAINER: SEAN TARRY MAIDEN PLATE 1160m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 17) |

---|---|---|---|---|
Cracking tempo looks assured with many of these capable of pushing on early. TUSCAN ROMANCE (1) set the pace over 1400m last time, but found one too good on the day. She would have come on from the outing and she should strip much fitter. She drops to 1160m and Richard Fourie may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her when it matters most. SHIMMERING (12) showed some improvement in her last start over this course and distance. She is a progressive type and has each-way claims. MERRYWEATHER (11) showed signs of needing her last start over this course and distance. She would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. If getting away to a clean start, she can finish in the placings. RENDEVOUS IN RIO (8) stayed on well when second over 1200m on the Inside course last time. She would have come on from the outing and should strip much fitter. The daughter of Trippi is drawn on the outside of the course and she may have more to come.
