GOING: G

#Gottaluvtassieracing Class 1 Hcp 1150m

Track: AW     Rail: True.  

From the inside gate Geegeeschaser has the dash to lead, but Houlihan and Dennyson should be right on her heels. Race that drops away very quickly. HOULIHAN (5) is racing well and looks tough to run down. Was just grabbed late two back then a close-up fourth over 1009m here last time. Will burn early and take catching again. FIERCE 'N FABULOUS (3) is a filly that was tested up to the Oaks last campaign but just didn't measure up. Back to sprinting and having first try on the synthetic. Expected to improve sharply. GEEGEESCHASER (13) has placed 4/5 this course and distance and off the inside should be in the finish. OPENSEA (10) has solid form here and should be winding up late. Worth including in wider plays. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Houlihan.
