Taree Race 6 - Taree Gbota 5Th Grade Heat 2 H
DONE BY NOON (2) hit the ground running off the tricky draw last start and was never headed (17.57) at this track in a Grade 5 over 300m. Great chance again. LAKOTA COURTNEY (8) went straight to the front and never headed when winning two back but could manage only midfield last time when finished 5th and beaten 8 lengths at Gosford (22.96). Great chance to atone. BEAUTIFUL BANTER (3) is worth forgiving last start after finishing seventh (19.10) in a Grade 5 at Richmond over 320m. Can figure in the finish. SEA SURGE (1) looks a top-three hope after a break.

Quickly out of the boxes with a slick early sectional clocking 17.57 with a 2.25 lengths win at this track over 300m. Makes plenty of appeal. Go close again.

Was a winner three back at Richmond then finished in the minors before missing the frame last time when seventh (19.10) at Richmond. Looks a key chance here on best and given another chance.

Won two starts back at this track over 300m in 17.85. Followed that up with a minor placing over 300m at this track at Grade 5 a week ago. Hard to entertain this time.

Finished third last time (17.83) over 300m at this track. Will need a little luck early from the draw. Looks tested in this line-up.

Has not shown much in recent runs. Could only manage sixth last time out over 300m at this track. Happy to risk this time.

Has been in the minors the last two, the latest showing strong pace early but gathered in and finished a 4 length second over 300m this track in 17.75. Capable of a good showing.

Didn't make the placings last time at Gosford (22.96) in a Grade 5, finishing a 8 length fifth. Still a maiden from this draw but has never missed the frame from four starts. Has ability and looks a key chance.
