Burnie Race 5

Nwtlha Cup

Prize Money: $14,000

IRON CLAD (5) scored at Launceston three runs ago but has been unplaced in two subsequent runs, the latest when sixth over 2150m at Carrick, beaten 14 metres. Steps up a level but he is capable of running a big race. ROCKS ROY (4) scored last start by 3 metres in a nice return to form at Launceston over 2200m. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is up to the challenge. WAZZA (6) is on the radar after his last-start fourth over 2650m at Carrick five days ago. In the mix. THE CHANCER (3) is worth some thought based on his victory over 2650m at Carrick two runs ago.
