Bairnsdale Race 4 - Tambo Waste Mdn Plate
CHATEAU DANCER (5) ran below expectations last time at Sandown-Hillside, finishing sixth and beaten 6 lengths starting at $7, but the fact she started that price in town is an indication of the class edge she has on rivals here. Fitter for the two runs back and stepping up to this trip. CLYDEBANK ROBBER (1) has had way too many chances - 57 starts - but is going as well as he's ever gone and there's no reason he won't look a hope at some point once again. LUCKY CHANCE (2) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 2.5 lengths at Coleraine over 3600m. Must be included. TRULY FIERCE (9) never looked likely on debut but will be better for that and she looks to have a little more upside than several rivals here.

Racing well recently. Last start 3rd of 8 at Sale Mdn-Sw on July 26 over 2200m, slow going 1.4 len behind King Of Savoy with 59.5kg at $12. The start before that 2nd in a small field at this track Mdn-Sw on July 13 over 2200m, on a slow track; 2.75 len behind Crystal Jade with 59.5kg at $5. Worth plenty of thought.

Form hard to fault. Last start won by 2.5 len at Coleraine Chase July 19 over 3600m on a rain affected track defeating Raise The Note carrying 65kg at $5.50. The race before that held ground to the line 3rd of 9 at Warrnambool Mdn Hwgt on June 28 over 2350m, on heavy track; 2.25 len behind Lillard carrying 69.5kg at $20. Well-placed and can measure up again.

Third-up today. First-up 9th of 11 at this track Mdn-Sw on July 13 over 1600m, slow going 13 len behind Bank Heist with 59.5kg at $151. Second run from a spell 6th of 9 at Moe Mdn-Sw on July 21 over 1628m, in the wet; 7 len behind Ngongotaha carrying 59.5kg at $101. Better for the two runs back but does need to find a few lengths.
