GOING: G(4)

RACING NATION ON POWERFM BENCHMARK 60 Handicap 1300m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 23)   Rail: +1m Entire. (Pent: 5.95)  

Window Tapper to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. Gollan-trained DANCE WIZZARD (6) peaks off a 1.7L defeat at Eagle Farm in a CL1. Jones rides first time and she strikes at 25% at this track (234 rides). Suited and can post his second win. CELESTIAL HARBOUR (1) found a 78 at Eagle Farm a bit rich, but bounced back here in a 70, placing second behind the dominant Never Give Up. Draws the inside gate, and the 3kg claim brings him into it. WINDOW TAPPER (13) has won her last two at Ipswich and keeps improving. This is her stiffest test to date, but she keeps improving and has the early speed to clear the awkward barrier and has been kept on the fresh side. DOWNEY (2) settled last and couldn't have been more impressive, winning a 58 at this track. Has a handy 3kg claim and can settle closer today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Dance Wizzard.
