Devonport Synthetic Race 1 - #Gottluvtassieracing Mdn Plate
CHEF'S KISS (1) is a former NSW galloper who was heavily bet first try in Tassie on the turf at Hobart. Got well back but wound up late over the sharper trip. Better for it and the extra ground a huge plus this time. Worth another chance. GEE GEES BROTHER (3) led and was run over late when placed here fresh. Will strip fitter and give a sight this longer journey. UNFILTERED (7) hasn't been far away last couple, the latest finishing sixth but only a couple of lengths from the winner. Has more upside than most and looks one of the chances. JOCK ROCK (8) is a gelding by Squamosa out of Bestie's Daughter on debut. Ran fourth in a trial at Devonport Synthetic over 1009m. Betting to hold the key. GUBER (4) has had a lot of tries but hard to beat on his best form.

Second run back. First-up after three months led but faded 3rd of 11 in a Mdn-Sw at this track on July 26 over 1150m, 2.5 len behind City Wok with 58.5kg at $91. Previously second-up 3rd of 9 in a Mdn-Sw at Launceston on March 4 over 1420m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Sh'bourne Power carrying 58.5kg at $10. Fitter again ad looks hard to beat.

Three-year-old gelding making debut by Squamosa out of Bestie's Daughter. Was second in a Devonport Synthetic trial over 800m August 11. Following that fourth over 1009m in a Devonport Synthetic trial on August 18. Fitter for two trials and worth watching closely for a move.
