GOING: G(4)

TAB HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 37)   Rail: +5m 1000m-W/Post; +3m Remainder.  

Strong tempo assured from Outta Line and Heaven Bound leading the charge. HEAVEN BOUND (2) led all the way to win first-up at Hawkesbury then gave a great sight in the Group 3 Belle Of The Turf at Gosford last start, beaten just 2.5 lengths. Very fit mare who won't find this chasing pack nearly as daunting. Looks outstanding value at double-figure odds. Waterhouse/Bott's unbeaten OUTTA LINE (6) looks the danger after an effortless first-up win over 1400m at Kembla. Facing a far stiffer test today but there is a fair way to go before they reach the bottom of her. O CARA MIA (11) has returned in fine fettle this prep, beaten narrowly over 1550m at Canterbury at her latest outing. Good miler who is a definite chance down in the weights. COVERT THINKING (3) has won three from four at this distance. Cherry ripe after two runs back from a spell and comes back to midweek company. EMBALLEE (9) is racing well and cannot be overlooked with McDonald taking this mount for the first time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Heaven Bound each-way.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up ran on from midfield and won by 1.4 len at Gosford Prov/Mid Mdn December 4 over 1600m defeating Velia with 57.5kg at $2.50. Second-up 2nd in a small field at Canterbury F&M Bm72 on December 19 over 1550m, 0.8 len behind Miss Hades with 54kg at $5.50. Can improve. Back in fine shape this prep and poses a genuine threat.
