Taree Race 9 - Ladbrokes Mid North Coast Cup Heat 3 H
APACHE TIGER (1) is a talented type who notched his 28th career success when too good (29.68) at Q Parklands last time. Has a strong record here at this journey including three wins. Makes plenty of appeal on the back of that last-start win. CASH KEEPING (2) impressed when posting a lightning 29.45 over 520m at Wentworth Park three back then has hit the frame in both runs since. Top win three back and rates a key player again. NOTTS COUNTY (3) has a strong winning strike-rate this journey having won five of six starts. Scored by 2 lengths last time (29.70) in a Grade 5 over 520m at Wentworth Park. Looks one of the chances. RETALIATION (8) was in the money last start and poses a threat again.

Eye-catching performance racing just off the speed and going on to score by 2.75 lengths in a Free For All last start at Q Parklands, clocking an outstanding 29.68 for the 520m trip. In form and looks tough to beat again.

Showed strong pace early but found one better when a neck second over 520m Wentworth Park in 29.56. Although beaten ran one of the quickest times on the card last time. Follow up.

Talented type with an excellent strike rate at this journey. Has been prominent in the run and duly saluted at his last couple, most recently over 520m at Wentworth Park in a handy 29.70 beating Zipping Ruger. The last run is a strong form reference. Follow up.

Missed the frame last start when fourth but had been in strong form prior to that, winning two on end before placing two back. Looks a strong place chance on best figures.

Got back last start and could only manage fourth but before that won by 2 lengths at Gosford (29.31) beating Exorbitant in a Grade 5 on August 25. Not far away last time but this is a stiff test.

Hit the frame at Wagga last time when a 4.5 lengths third but did record a powerful 30.06 over the 525m journey. Expecting another bold showing.
