Taree Race 1 - Jim Anderson Earthmoving Mdn Plate
STERN DISPUTE (8) should find this easier than his debut third four weeks ago over 1200m at Gosford. He has a good draw and looks a likely improver. Each-way. CHISTOTA (1) had support on debut and boxed on fairly for fifth, 4.5 lengths away over 1200m at Port Macquarie, and rates a solid top-three chance. RIGA (5) resumes after a winning trial and looks like a genuine each-way contender. RISK AND FAMOUS (6) resumes from a spell, and he has the advantage of the pole position in a very modest field. A 4kg claim will help, and any market support will be a strong lead to follow.
