GOING: G(4)

CARPET ONE TAMWORTH COUNTRY BOOSTED CLASS 2 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 33)   Rail: True.  

A solid tempo is assured with Yacht Girl coming across, joined by Nirmata and Priscila Statement pushing on from better draws. GHAZNAVI (5) tough gelding who got up in a tight finish on resumption over 1400m at Mudgee. No reason he can't go on with it now and looks set for a good preparation. NIRMATA (3) lightly raced gelding with a stack of upside. Gripped on late with the 59kg when a tidy third over 1100m at Scone. Strips fitter and shapes as the main danger from the low barrier. FOUR DEGREES (2) deep into the prep and the cross-over nose band and tongue-tie go on fourth-up. Winning rider hops back on and sure to be thereabouts. TALKACHINO (9) came back in distance when surged late for a surprise third over 1300m at Dubbo. Will drift back again and prove hard to hold out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,3,2,9.
