RACE COMMENT
This is the second heat of the Tassie Golden Apple and we see former star youngster BEYOND DELIGHT (11) looking to find his mojo. He comes off 30m so will need to begin and from there be close to get his chance to round them up late so is the one to beat. FRANCO PROMACHOS (6) returns after a couple of wins in much easier grade similar to his stablemate in the first heat so he will be hoping to ping early and if bullied his way to the top he will take some catching. MAGNETIC TERROR (7) draws the top of the track so hopefully that will help him step early as if does he comes into calculations. STEPPING STONES (5), THE CROUPIER (8) and KEAYANG FITZY (9) are a trio to include for the wider exotic placings.TOP PICK: Beyond Delight (11) happy to go his way despite the backmark.DANGERS: Franco Promachos (6) is a danger along with Magnetic Terror (7).ROUGHIE: Stepping Stones (5) is the best at odds.RATINGS: 11-5 6 7-1 8 9-2 3 4 10EXOTIC BET: Trifecta 11-1 5 6 7 8 9-1 5 6 7 8 9 $30 flexi 100%LIKELY LEADER: Will He Pike and Major Davvin can ping early along with Stepping Stones looking to push forward.
