Devonport Synthetic Race 4 - Meridian Horse Transport Plate (C3)
AZONTO (6) is coming back in trip and finishing midfield behind TIKKEN last time. Leading rider aboard and drops in weight. Will be charging home late. TIKKEN (2) is also coming back in journey after racing on speed and scoring here last time over 1650m. Has the inside and will be prominent throughout. MEGALITA (3) drifted well back last start before storming home to score by 0.8 lengths over 1350m at this track. Winning hope here. FRUIT OF DE VINE (7) will find this tougher but is a last start winner this course and distance and drawn to run well again. TASSIE POWER (1) is better than last run. Having first try on the synthetic and expected to run well.

Recent form sound. Most recently raced right near the speed and boxed on; won by 0.5 len at this track Cl2 July 12 over 1650m defeating Regal Hunter carrying 59kg at $4.20. The run before that sat on the pace when 3rd of 9 at this track Bm64 on June 28 over 1350m, 1.5 len behind Kireina Marubrah carrying 58.5kg at $3.90. Draws a nice barrier and will be very competitive again.
