We Stand With Tasmania

Prize Money: $3,360

BLESSED RAIN (7) has a strong record this track and trip with 10 wins and two placings from 13 starts. Was out of the placings last time (22.86) at this track in a Veteran race H, finishing fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths. With a clean break looks hard to beat. ASTON RAYNER (4) is yet to be beaten at the course and distance, scoring three wins from as many starts. Scored by a head last time (24.49) in a Free For All over 435m at Sale. Can feature with the right run. ELLIS UNIT ONE (3) goes very well this course and distance starting 12 times for six wins and three minors. Placed last time (23.09) at this track in a Free For All, finishing second and beaten a long neck. Can hit the frame with the right run. CHALK AND CHEESE (1) is building a sequence of top-three results and can add to the tally.

Has hit the frame the last couple. Finished third at this track latest but prior to that clocked a solid 22.12 over 390m finishing second at Warrnambool. Rates a chance if runs up to recent fast time.
