GOING: S(5)

Kevin Sharkie Tasmanian Oaks 2100m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.62)  

Solid tempo anticipated with Luvya Mumma leading the way. SILVER DAGGER (2) tackled the Strutt Stakes last time seeking a hat-trick and was run over by Suntora in the shadows of the post. Races favourite in that and maps well again. She can bounce back. MOORLANDS MISS (1) found a place in the Tasmanian Derby stepping up from a mile and should be better for that. Uses the inside gate and should find the fillies easier to handle. The Victorian SUNTORA (3) spiked her figures winning the Strutt Stakes and she'd be a hope holding that form. CINCH (5) is also in strong Victorian hands and was backed off the map winning her Maiden at Sale. She's sure to keep improving and has to be kept onside. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with Silver Dagger.
