GOING: G(4)

THE PESTWORX BLITZ NEWMARKET OPEN Handicap 1400m

Track: Good 4     Rail: +2m 600m-300m; True Remainder. (Pent: 5.73)  

Looks to be plenty of pace with Tuhinga and Drang A Tang battling for the lead. DRANG A TANG (1) registered a strong win at Toowoomba two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when third over 1200m at Esk, beaten 2 lengths. Kelsey Lenton is a key engagement. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. TOBA (10) put the writing on the wall when runner-up two back before winning last start at Dalby. Proven at this course and distance so could go on with the job. BASIL'S BOW (7) did well last time to finish fourth over 1200m at Esk. Up in journey from that race and boasts five wins at this distance. The testing material. KORUTO (2) last raced on February 28 when sixth at Toowoomba over 1200m. Finds the right race this time and can make amends. SUGGESTED PLAY: Basil's Bow & Drang A Tang quinella.
1 7x313 DRANG A TANG
