GOING:

THE TAB APP PACE 1609m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 25)    

HIDDEN DELIGHT (9) backs up after she came from this barrier for a winning return on Tuesday, getting home by a head at this circuit and distance. Owns a decent record when second-up so with improvement likely she can go on with the job. STEALTH BOMBA (10) has been racing well and looks close to a win after he finished second at his latest appearance at this circuit and distance. Draws on the second line so may need luck at some point but is a leading hope if it comes his way. BRING YOUR BEST (3) didn't do a bad job when fourth from a wider barrier here last time, adding to a string of top-four finishes. Draws to be competitive. DANIEL BOOM (7) draws wide but is in the mix following a respectable third at his most recent appearance here.
