GOING: N

Tasmanian Horse Transport C2 Hcp 1150m

Track: Synthetic     Rail: True.  

Plenty of pace evident with Get 'Em Warrior and Turf Puzzle leading the way from Red Sphere and Kusini. TURF PUZZLE (8) has gone close on the turf at her last two and will race forward again. Will carry just 51.5kg with the claim and that brings her right into it. MASTRETTA (4) is a threat. Brought strong form to resumption at Hobart and looked a run short. Has plenty up her sleeve and is capable of using the inside barrier. Sharp improvement is on the cards. ZOETE'S ROCK (7) deserved his win here and followed with a near miss at the track this grade/trip. He's been freshened, and the top hoop is reunited. Maps well and can make the finish again. NIGHT INVADER (6) seeks the hat-trick off a CL1 win here first up. It was an impressive effort after settling last and fitter she's in the mix. RED SPHERE (3) resumes in easier and has trialled well. Deserves a betting watch. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Turf Puzzle.

The start before that ran on from midfield and won by a nose at this track Cl2 July 13 over 1150m defeating Berserker with 55kg at $14. Should be around the mark.
