TEQUILA TANGO (2) Came in 5th last start at this track. Looking past the last run and can find a nice position from the draw. Will be positive in the run early. Key player. SNOW SNIPER (7) Honest race when 2nd last run at this venue. Jockey Aldo Domeyer and trainer Candice Bass form a proven partnership. Serious contender. STITCHINTIME (1) Tidy effort when 3rd last start here and having second race start. Will be aiming for a soft run from the draw. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . GREEN SENSATION (6) Came in 5th last run at this venue. Should muster plenty of early speed. Honest enough to be an each way player.

Comments

Placed on debut in a MPLTE over 1250m at this track, finishing third behind Above The Law and beaten just over half a length on good ground. He was respected near the top of an open market, has already placed at both this venue and distance, and gets a 1.5kg apprentice claim second-up. The top weight tempers the case slightly, but his first run gives him a strong winning profile.

Had excuses when fifth as a firming favourite at this track last start, beaten three and a half lengths after covering extra ground. His previous run was a good second behind Swaziland, beaten just over a length at this venue, so the form is not far away. He has one placing from three tries around 1250m, and while the trip still asks a little, he is fit enough to hold a genuine place chance.

Resumes after three months off following a modest debut at Kenilworth, where he finished second last behind Ulez Camera and was beaten just over seven lengths. The market had shown some confidence from opening levels, but he did not deliver on race day. A leading stable gives him some upside, yet he has to show far more under pressure to trouble the main chances.

Was safely held on debut over 1000m at this track, finishing ninth behind African Wild Dog and beaten six lengths after starting at long odds. He is second-up now and steps to 1250m for the first time, which leaves him with more to prove rather than a clear positive. The easier setup helps only so much, and he must improve sharply to become competitive.

Resumes after four months off after ending that campaign last at this track, beaten over 13 lengths behind Mordechai at big odds. His previous run at Kenilworth was also last, beaten over 20 lengths, so the recent race record is difficult to recommend. With no placing from three starts and no clear excuse in those defeats, he looks one of the harder runners to make a case for.

Took a clear step forward at this track last start, finishing fifth behind Above The Law and beaten just over two lengths after firming from bigger odds. That was a much better effort than his debut seventh behind Wreath Of Snow, and he now has the benefit of a third run this campaign. He still has to turn the tables on Stitchintime from that latest form line, so a placing looks the right level.

Resumes off a two-month freshening after a strong second at this track over 1000m, beaten a length and a half by Stealth after firming near the top of an open market. He had been well beaten on debut at Kenilworth, but his return run showed much better race substance. The first try at 1250m is the only real question, and his latest form makes him the one to beat.

Was beaten just under six lengths on debut over 1000m at this track, finishing seventh behind African Wild Dog after starting at big odds. He has a 2.5kg apprentice claim this time and is second-up, but the 1250m is new and the debut figure leaves work to do. There is some scope for natural improvement, though others have shown stronger race form.
