CAULFIELD HEATH   16 Apr 2025
 
GOING: G

Thoroughbred Club of Australia Handicap 1200m

Track: Good 3     Rail: True Entire Circuit.  

Expecting Zetalyn to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. THE DABBLE EFFECT (9) resumes. She was tackling stronger company last time in and running well, third to the smart Royal Insignia especially reading well. She draws well here and can figure on an each way basis. TESSA'S CHOICE (8) resumes. She won first up last time in at Ballarat and tackled stronger races thereafter. Must respect. CHARMING NIC (3) was a commanding seven length winner as a $1.45 favourite at Swan Hill last time out. The debut run in town was rock solid, he can measure right up. STEEL MOVE (5) is progressive and has claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: The Dabble Effect each-way.
