Carrick Race 2

Harrison Agents Pace

Prize Money: $12,000

DALTON SHARD NZ (6) has raced two times this prep and has filled a minor placing on each occasion. Recorded yet another strong performance last time when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 2579m at Hobart, adding to a string of recent minor placings. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. IRON CLAD (3) scored last start by 2 metres at Launceston over 2698m after an encouraging minor placing the start before. Has the benefit of a good draw. Big chance in this comparable race. RAKADAN NZ (1) disappointed last time when 11th over 2579m at Hobart. Can turn things around. KEAYANG FITZY (2) is worth another chance after a last-start tenth over 2579m at Hobart nine days ago.

Eight-year-old gelding showed improvement last time. 2nd (20m Fr1) over 2698m at Launceston beaten 2 m by Iron Clad (3:22.50) in NR 70 or better on February 15 at $17. The race before was not as impressive when well beaten into seventh behind Maebee at this track over 1670m in a No NR on January 25 at $41. This looks a far sterner task.

Resumes. His previous first-up run was successful when he ran on strong from last on the turn and won by 2.5 m (FT Fr3) at Launceston (3:24.50) beating Lightning Dan in No NR on July 27 at $6. Prefer to see.

Solid performance when a close second behind Maebee at Launceston over 2698m in a No NR on January 31 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when well beaten into third behind Triedtotellya at Hobart over 2579m in a No NR on February 13 at $12. Can maintain the solid form.
