Seven races will be run and won at one of my stomping grounds, Taree, on Monday.
Here is my suggested quaddie play, which is on races 4-7.
Leg one
Looks to be a stack of speed engaged. Golden Comet is one of those speed runners but he has done nothing wrong in two career outings. Go Joyce Go hasn’t raced since debuting with a win in a weak 900m maiden at Queanbeyan but has trialled well.
Stablemate Second Island should be fitter, though drawn awkwardly. Hard Merchandise is first up but bolted up in a recent trial win at Port Macquarie while Magic Era won nicely on debut at Tamworth but draws terribly.
Leg two
The drop in grade/depth should see Parnassos prove hard to beat for the Denham/Thompson combo, which should always be respected. Zigamore is fav and deservedly so with provincial form next to his name.
Grafelli is a hard horse to catch but he should do no work from the gate on a track which will suit those near the inside. Lonhie Rocks hasn’t won for a long time but should press forward from the gate and prove hard to run down.
Leg three
Another race stacked with pace. I think the race sets up ideally for last start winner Stoddart. He savaged the line from the back off a fast pace to win and I think he can repeat the dose.
Merriwa and Laurentinian are speed demons, though Merriwa can take a sit if necessary. Laurentinian only knows one way. Billabong Cindy comes through the Stoddart race and does get a 2.5kg weight swing.
Leg four
All things being equal, Tawfiq Boy should be putting this field away. I was on him last start at Newcastle over 1200m and to the eye, he was a bit disappointing I thought given he didn’t really kick on as well as I thought he would.
In saying that, the form out it does read well with Hesco Gold running well since. Drops massively in depth here and I expect to Bullock to take the race on, put him on speed and let his class get him home.
Leg one: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6.
Leg two: 2, 3, 4, 10.
Leg three: 3, 7, 12, 13.
Leg four: 1.
