TETRA CRUISING (5) quickly into stride to win over the 480m at this track two runs back then prominent throughout when finishing second at this track last start. One of the contenders. BLACKHOUSE TOM (4) has struggled of late. Missed the placings two back at this track then finished fifth at his latest appearance in an A5 at this track over 480m (29.77). Returns to a handicap now and jumps with a 7m advantage. Overall a talented handicapper who has one win and one placings from three runs from the staggered start. Better than recent runs suggest and is not to be underestimated. SLINGSHOT MAJOR (6) recorded a strong effort last time, beaten 1.1 lengths into third over 480m at this track (29.15) in an A2. Tackling a handicap for the first time and breaks from the back. Expected to run well again. SHADOW JASMINE (1) has been hot and cold of late in handicaps. Won two back when starting 14m from scratch at this track then finished sixth at her latest appearance and breaking from 11m at this track over 480m (29.49). Takes on another handicap here and will enjoy the 12m start. Not out of the equation.
