GOING: G

Peppermint Parties Class 1 Hcp 1350m

Track: AW     Rail: True.  

Genuine pace with Waltzing Matilda finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. TOO MUCH TOO SOON (7) is a former Victorian going well for the new yard including a win two back. Went back from a wide gate last time and made some late goring but never threatened. First try on the all weather and gets chance to bounce back. TIKKEN (2) is also a former Victorian who made Tassie debut with a win on this circuit then was fifth and not far away last time. Fitter again and expected to go close over the longer journey. KNIGHTS REIGN (4) stuck on well last start to finish second over 1650m at this track after showing good early speed. Aided by the claim and will give a sight. OCCASIONAL GLIMPSE (9) is coming along nicely this prep, scoring his maiden this course and distance last time. Well placed to feature in the finish again. I'M A MACHINE (3) is another racing well and worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Too Much Too Soon can atone.
