Tara Bridge²¹

Age: 10| Weight: 11-12| J: Tom Cannon| T: C Gordon| OR: 125| CD

5/4

Hat-trick seeker who has gone up another 5lb for winning over C&D last time out but is in much better form than his only two rivals here and should be able to win a fourth race in five starts.

Form: 3F1-211

Big Jim³⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-11| J: Harry Bannister| T: A M Hales| OR: 124| D

9/4

Couldn't build on a recent win when last of all at Warwick last time out. Down 2lb here but needs to put that last defeat a fair way behind him.

Form: P1/6-516

Darebin^v²⁰

Age: 6| Weight: 11-5| J: J E Moore| T: G & J Moore| OR: 118| CD

2/1

Useful at his best but has regressed over his past few starts and needs a revival after showing little on the Flat last time.

Form: 212355

Forecasts

Tara Bridge (5/4), Darebin (2/1), Big Jim (9/4)

Though Big Jim won at Warwick two starts ago he still needs to bounce back after a poor showing last time, and the progressive TARA BRIDGE should prove too good for him. Seeking a hat-trick and a fourth win in his last five starts (he was a half-length second in the exception) he shouldn't have too many issues with a 5lb rise up the weights. Darebin would hold claims on his best form but has looked regressive of late.
