Taree Race 7 - Ladbrokes Mid North Coast Cup Heat 1 H
DENNIS KEEPING (1) is worth forgiving for his last effort when fifth (30.22) at Wentworth Park over 520m. Solid record at the distance winning six races. Comes out of a solid form race last start. Key runner on his best form. REPELLENT (2) is better than last start when sixth (30.29) in a NG at Wagga over 525m. Form at the trip sound including three wins. Safe beginner who has drawn to advantage. Key player if finds best. FLASH ETHICS (3) is having his first look at this circuit. In the money last start when second (29.47) at Wentworth Park over 520m. Good beginner aided by a nice draw. Expecting another good run. ARMATREE ASAFA (6) is one of the chances after a minor prize in quick time last start.

Won two starts back when well in the market at Healesville over 350m. Last start finished 6th over 525m at Wagga beaten 9 lengths (30.29) behind Paw Matic in a NG on August 22. Comes through a good form race. Looks a top chance.

Flew the lids with a fast early split but had to contend with second when clocking 29.47 over 520m at Wentworth Park. In form and can return to the winners' list.

Good effort to win last start by 3 lengths over 525m at this track in a handy (30.26), beating Armatree Asafa. Will find this a bit tougher, good win last start but looks tested in this difficult assignment.

Form has been solid with minor placings at his last three starts. Last time out finished 2nd over 525m at this track beaten 3 lengths (30.47) behind Flat Out Fred in a NG on August 26. Comes through a good form race. Looks a definite chance.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at Grafton over 450m in 25.54. Couldn't repeat the feat last time out when fourth over 450m at Grafton at Grade 4/5 level. Doesn't look smart enough to threaten the top few.
