Taree Race 2 - Ladbrokes Taree Cup Heat 1 H

RAPID LULU (8) has a strong record here with three wins and a minor from five starts. In the money last time at Grafton (20.27) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3.5 lengths second. Looks suited and should go close. EPIC STORY (1) is having his first look at this circuit. Comes here after a last start 4th and beaten 5 lengths (26.71) at Bulli. Better than the latest run and deserves another chance. AUNTY MEEKA (4) racing well without winning, placing at her last four runs. Last start finished 2nd on April 11 over 400m at Wagga behind Magical Star beaten 0.8 lengths (23.12) in a Grade 5. Has a strong record out of this box with three wins and two minor placings from seven starts. Bold showing expected. GEORGE JUDY (3) was well backed last start but ran below expectations when fourth (29.95), beaten 1.75 lengths. Smart beginner who should take advantage of the low draw.

Was out of placings last time (26.71) at Bulli in a Grade 5, finishing fourth and beaten 5 lengths. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed two times. Looks suited here and rates a leading chance.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 4th in a Grade 5 on April 4 over 515m at The Gardens behind Rapido Vito beaten 1.75 lengths (29.95). Placed two back at The Gardens. With a good start will take catching off the low draw.
