GOING: G(4)

Tasmanian Bloodstock Class 4 Handicap 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: Out 4m Entire. (Pent: 4.52).  

Solid early tempo with Sushi Express and Rubbleonthedouble capable of leading the way. PRINCESS MATOAKA (6) has been racing well at 68 level and has a 3kg claimer on today. Sits down in the weights and maps for a soft run. Stepping back up to 1400m won't bother and she can go one better. CARTOON GRAVEYARD (1) recorded back-to-back wins and has threatened the two since in Open 4s heavily bet. He's a live chance. Stablemate DANTES (2) brings strong form over a mile. There was only a whisker in it last time and 4 winners have come out of that. Back 200m shouldn't bother but the outside barrier needs managing. RUBBLEONTHEDOUBLE (5) always puts in and is going well enough to consider. SUGGESTED PLAY: Princess Matoaka gets the nod.
