RACE COMMENT
It’s the first heat of the upcoming Tasmania Cup, where TRIEDTOTELLYA (1) will be flying the flag for his home state and comes up with the pole draw, so expect him to lead all the way here and be almighty hard to beat. DALTON SHARD (7) couldn’t have been more impressive in the Devonport cup last start but draws the outside front row. Think they may restrain here, and hoping he is finishing off well to qualify for the final. MAGICIAN (8) gets his chance to return to form following the favourite out, if he can kick through and hold his back, which KEAYANG FITZY (2) will be eyeing off early, who continues to race consistently in feature races. Expect STAR MAJOR (5) to roll forward from the gate to a forward position and possibly look for cover from CELEBRITY ROYAL (9) who has been very good of late, and would expect him to be somewhat peaking at his 4th run back from a 2 year absence from the track. Many other classy performers who could run into the top 4 with some luck in running.Selections TRIEDTOTELLYA (1), CELEBRITY ROYAL (9), MAGICIAN (8), DALTON SHARD (7)
