On pace runners, 3, 7, 12, 13, 14. BIG BRAD and HANGONASEQ contested the same race on debut over 1000m at Tamworth when they both didn't finish far from the winner. They will both now compete as likely improvers when they present in blinkers for the first time. MEGA MISSILE kept trying in defeat on debut at Narromine with Jacob Stiff aboard. Natural improvement can now be expected when Jacob retains the ride here. CASTRO finished unplaced first up at Coonamble but he was produced over 1100m on the day and he did indicate that he will be now better suited over this journey. TEXAN STAR was produced after a six week break when he performed well above market place expectations on this track last start. This quicker back-up (twenty-nine days) should not be considered as a minus! THE BEAST finished unplaced in this class at Tamworth last start but a gear change has been made and the addition of a tongue tie can create improvement today.
