TANK KEEPING (2) has a strong record this trip with eight wins and seven placings from 24 starts. Scored by 7 lengths last time (29.18) in a Grade 4/5 over 516m at Dubbo. Has the ability and looks a key chance here. JOANNE (3) was game in defeat when finished in the minors last start over the 520m at Wentworth Park, running a quick 29.74 in a Grade 4/5. In form and looks a leading player again. RITZA TEARS (5) was long overdue after two placings in a row before a deserved win (29.88) last time at Wentworth Park. Tends to go well on this box draw. Best form too dangerous to ignore. Have to include. GRAND BLAZER (1) should be thereabouts.

Put a space on them to win by 7 lengths at Dubbo over 516m (29.18) beating Elsa Above in Grade 4/5 on February 7. Has run hot time here with a 29.27 PB at the distance. Key chance.

Comments

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in his races, The latest effort was a 15 length seventh over 520m at this track. Others have better credentials.
