Devonport Synthetic Race 4 - Tasmanian Horse Transport Hcp (C2)
ZUNI (6) failed in her only run on this poly track, but that was earlier in her career. She is a lot stronger now and was an all-the-way winner at Launceston in her penultimate start before finishing a game fourth there 10 days ago. Stick with her. MEGA MIC (3) has found some form since transferring from Victoria earlier in the season, and after a smart win fresh up, he was third last start. He still has more to come and will be right in the finish again. BERSERKER (4) was only beaten by a head on this track 2 starts back before finishing third at Hobart just over a fortnight ago. He is still on the up with his fitness, and a 3kg claim has him well-placed to figure in the finish again. Each way. SPRING BEAN (2) made some good progress during his spring campaign, winning twice. He resumes from a spell with a trial win under his belt. Don't underestimate his winning claims.

Useful mare. At the latest run 4th of 7 at Launceston 4yo Swp on April 11 over 1200m, 2.5 len behind Perola with 55.5kg at $21. The race before that won by 1.5 len at Launceston Cl1 March 28 over 1200m on a soft track defeating Emmjay carrying 53.5kg at $2.10. Rates highly and is one of the major players.
