RACE COMMENT
This is the first heat of the Tassie Golden Apple and brings a handy field together. BLITZERN (12) is the class runner and gets 30m over the short trip so will need a touch of luck early and if comes his way he can overcome it be the hardest top beat. JAMES IN CHARGE (6) was good winning in much easier class and despite having options of easier races he is looking to take a huge step so if pings early he has showed he can run a good half so is the X factor. JUST TIGER (3) is a nice horse he is well up to taking this out as will be fitter for his first up win from similar conditions so keep very safe. GLENLEDI ELVIS (10) will be looking to step early as if he does he comes right into calcultions. WE SALUTE YOU (1), ROYAL APPOINTMENT (2) and JO AN JO (11) are a trio to include for the wider exotic placings.TOP PICK: Just Tiger (3) looks the hardest to beat.DANGERS: Blitzern (12) is the danger along with James in Charge (6).ROUGHIE: Glenledi Elvis (10) looks the best value play.RATINGS: 3-6 10 12-1 2 11-4 5 7 8 9EXOTIC BET: Trifecta 3-1 2 6 10 11 12-1 2 6 10 11 12 $30 flexi 100%LIKELY LEADER: Rockandahardplace and Pardoe Plugga will be looking to ping early.
