Tideford should lead and dictate terms. TIDEFORD (4) finished third two runs back at Hobart in a CL1 and then improved again last time out to score by 2 lengths over 2150m at this track. Led them a merry chase in that and tumbles 4kgs in this grade. He's going to be tough to catch. SPRING BEAN (1) turned things around last start, scoring by a long neck over 1880m after being prominent at the turn at Devonport Synthetic. Improved here over this trip prior and keeps the handy 3kg claim. Rates to make the finish. MOORLANDS MISS (5) switches back to a middle distance and will find this easier than the Tasmanian St Leger the latest. Placed this track/trip prior and is on a 7-day backup. ROYAL DISPATCH (3) has been in the market at his last couple of starts over 1600m but hasn't made an impression. Last time he tackled this trip, he was narrowly beaten here on a 68. Has a 2kg claim, and a better effort is likely. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sticking with Tideford.
