Taree Race 9 - Mark Hughes Foundation
LITTLE WHACKER (2) has mixed form recently, finishing fourth (17.91) in a Grade 5 at this track latest but did run well two back when in the frame. Safe beginner and drawn well close to the inside. Looks suited here and big improvement expected. BANJO'S FERNANDO (1) recorded a 5 length third in a Grade 5 last time 17.75 at this track and trip and also jumping from the same draw. Good beginner and aided by the inside draw. Expecting another bold showing. BARRELLED (6) had the inside box last start and got off the mark by 2 lengths at this track over 300m (17.85). Leading player again. SNACKS (7) can improve on an unplaced run here last time out.

Hit the frame at final run of last campaign, finishing second (17.78) at this track before going for a nine weeks spell. Looks one of the better hopes in the race.

Has been out of the money of late. Could only manage fifth last time out over 300m at this track. Looks tested in this company.

Looks close to another win after his success on April 18 at this track over 300m. Last start was third over 300m in 18.03, behind Riverside Levi. Has been thereabouts of late and is among the chances.
