TAMWORTH CITY TOYOTA CLASS 3 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: +3m 1000m-300m, True Remainder .  

Genuine pace with Poseidon's Son taking up the running ahead of Prince Of Sepang and Starry Jack. NYALI SANDS (6) handy mare set to peak third up with the bar plates coming off. Indicated a win was imminent after running a tough third over 1200m at this track with 60kg. Winning rider back on and will appreciate the claim. Hard to run down from the draw. MOVE SHE CAN (10) up in grade second up after finishing a respectable sixth over 1000m at Muswellbrook. Down in the weights with the claim and ready to run out a strong 1200m. STARRY JACK (1) racing in career best form and strips fitter on the backup. Keep safe. TAVROS (3) resumes from a spell. Placed in a recent Scone trial. Opened last campaign with a seventh at Moree over 1300m. SUGGESTED PLAY: Nyali Sands to find winning form.
