Taree Race 5

Tg Ladbrokes Popular Srm 8-15

Prize Money: $1,350

ROUGH PASSAGE (3) has a fair record and proved too classy last time to win by 1.75 lengths at this track in a handy 17.80 beating Park Key Pop. Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Expected to measure up again. SALSA GIRL (1) was out of the placings last time when seventh at this track (18.34) but scored five back at The Gardens (16.42). Safe beginner who draws ideally on the inside. Can do much better this time. BLUE TIARA (2) turned in a fair 4th placed finish last time at this track over 300m (18.04). Smart beginner who should take advantage of the low draw. One of the better hopes. MIRACLE JACK (6) is worth a look over a shorter distance this time.

Was out of placings last time when seventh (18.34) at this track in a Grade 5. Will jump from box 1 for the first time. Looks a leading chance.

Showed strong early pace and stuck on well despite finishing out of the placings when fourth over 300m this track in 18.04. Has the ability to take this out.

Good effort to score just six days ago over 300m at this track by 1.75 lengths in a Grade 5. Can make it two on the bounce.

Placed last time (17.86) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing second and beaten 3.5 lengths. Yet to win but has placed five times from this draw. With even luck and a clean start should be thereabouts.

At the last outing finished last over 300m at this track beaten 10 lengths (18.36) behind Flying Minter in a Grade 5 on February 9. Capable of much better. Worth keeping safe.
