GOING: N

RACING240 MR 80 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: STANDARD      

Expecting a strong pace headed by Chili Bomb, Final Try and Rose Of Bayeux. TINTAMARRE (7) fought hard for his last victory over 1000m on this course. He showed good pace and fought hard all the way to the line. That was his first outing for the Gavin Smith stable. He should have no issues with the step up to 1400m and rates well to go back-to-back. FINAL TRY (3) ran a fair race over 1600m on the turf last time. His penultimate run when second over this distance on the turf was encouraging. He tries the polytrack and if taking to the surface should throw out a big challenge to the selection. HOLOCENE (6) is better than his last start run on the turf would suggest. He has won once and finished second once from three starts over this course and distance. With a bit of luck from the widest draw can finish in the money. SILVER TYCOON (9) was given a gun ride when winning his last start over this course and distance. He is in a good space and with luck in the running should be figuring in the finish.
