GOING: F

THE TAB APP PACE 1609m

Track: FAST   Clouds (Max: 15)    

HIDDEN DELIGHT (2) was in the money at this track two runs ago before finishing third at her latest appearance over 1609m at this track, beaten 3.5 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. LONGNWINDINGROAD (1) has been racing well of late. Finished third at his latest appearance over 1980m at Tamworth, beaten 5.5 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Finds a nice race and can grab a well-deserved win. MAGIC MATTEO (4) is in the mix following a fifth at his most recent appearance over 2125m at Penrith. YESNOMAYBESO (8) must be considered after he finished runner-up over 2030m at this track three days ago.
