GOING: S(6)

BARRIER REEF POOLS Class 4 Handicap 1200m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: +10m Entire. (Pent: 5.90)  

Hellcibell should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. TALTARNI FIELDS (1) resumed in good nick with a strong win at the Sunny Coast and has a handy record over this six-furlong journey with two wins and three placings from seven attempts. Gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim and should get a gun run in transit from the inside alley. Rates the testing material against this line-up. GIVE GIGGLES (5) has been right there in both starts here since the spell and will be ready to peak now third-up from the spell. Include in calculations. MEAN APPROACH (6) saves his best form for this trip and will be high on confidence following that last-start victory. Top-three conveyance. MORE LOVE (10) goes well for jockey Jamieson who has three wins and two placings from ten steers. One for the exotics players. BOODUA ROMANCE (3) next in line while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Taltarni Fields to win again.
