Devonport Synthetic Race 1 - Drc Season Opener Mdn Plate
Several win chances. HIGHLAND DASH (7) is a former Victorian who is a seven start maiden and comes fresh off a placing at Bairnsdale over a bit further. Ran well on the Pakenham synthetic two back and rates highly this line-up. Can run well first Tassie try. Few others close to wins. BAILED (2) is a two start maiden in the Browne yard and ran very well last time when he got a long way back over 1200m at Pakenham Synthetic, beaten 2.75 lengths into sixth. Jumps straight out in trip suggesting he really needs it. Will be sitting closer but should prove tough to stop. COME TO LIGHT (3) has been in the betting at both starts but has finished fifth at each, the latest over 1650m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Can feature in the finish. GYM PRINCESS (6) finished third last start over 1650m at this track when she made late ground, beaten 4 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. ALL INTRIQUE (5) is back in right class and can do much better.

Had two starts to date. At very long odds at debut, 7th of 12 at Pakenham Synthetic Mdn-Sw on June 22 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind Hyper Ballad with 59.5kg at $51. Second-up 6th of 12 at Pakenham Synthetic Mdn-Sw on July 6 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind First Regent carrying 59.5kg at $51. Likely improver with the extra trip expected to suit.
