GOING: F

DAISY WATER CARRIER PETER AND RAYMOND SHEPHERDSON MEMORIAL 2160m

Track: FAST   Clear (Max: 29)    

TOPSIES BLING (1) went back last start then worked home in good style to finish 4.5 metres from the winner in second at Tamworth over 1980m, that effort following a good win at Tamworth the run prior. Has the benefit of a good draw. Facing a tougher assignment but she is capable of running a big race. FAR OUT RINGO (3) ran fourth last start at Tamworth over 1609m, beaten 5 metres. Has ability and should be right in the finish. AMILLION PROMISES (4) is the next elect off a last-start win by 2.25 metres at Tamworth over 1609m. ARNIES ARMY (8) cannot be left out after registering a sequence of three top-three finishes, the latest at Tamworth a week-and-a-half ago.

Resumes. Finished off last campaign when well beaten into ninth behind Yukon Be Serious at Dubbo over 2120m in a NR up to 60 on December 26 at $11. Previous preparation first-up won by 2.5 m after showing early speed, (Fr1) at Dubbo (2:03.10) beating Borrowed Time in NR up to 55 on December 12 at $3.20. Capable of more than he has shown recently. Solid top-three prospects.

10-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. Raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 4.5 m as favourite after showing early speed, (Fr2) at Tamworth (2:26.80) beating Topsies Bling in NR up to 53 on March 26 at $2.30 at the bell was 2nd-2.43. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into seventh behind Heza Doozie at Tamworth over 1980m in a NR up to 75 on March 12 at $81. Prefer to watch at this level.

Solid performance when a close second behind Heza Doozie at Tamworth over 1980m in a NR up to 75 on March 12 at $6.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Jayjaybenny at Tamworth over 1609m in a NR up to 70 on March 26 at $26. Form sound and expected to measure up.
