Taree Race 5 - Ladbrokes Popular Srm
GOLDEN SUNSET (2) was well in the market last time but only managed seventh (17.91), beaten 6 lengths. Was in the money the start prior. Has ability and can bounce back. MAEVE BABY (1) was midfield throughout and finished there last time when 4th (23.15) at The Gardens. Key player if finds best. TOMMIE'S BRIDE (7) returned a better run last time, finishing in the money (17.61) at this track behind Midweek Scotches in a Grade 5. Has the pace to be prominent. The form from her last run stacks up well. Leading player again. AWESOME RETURN (3) must be respected despite an unplaced effort here most recently.

Found some support last start but struggled and finished 7th over 300m at this track beaten 6 lengths (17.91) behind Midweek Scotches in a Grade 5 on June 24. Placed two back at this track. Has run hot time here with a 17.13 PB at the distance. Key chance.

Had been racing in honest fashion, recording three placings in a row, before finishing fifth (17.82) at this track last start. Has a solid record off the draw but prefer each-way.

Backs up after winning by one length at this track (17.67) beating Twelve Men in a NG on June 27 four days ago. This is much harder assignment and he needs to find another gear.
