Taree Race 2 - Di Studdert Memorial Mdn Plate
OAKFIELD UNIVERSE (5) tried hard last start over 1350m at Wyong but had to settle for second as the favourite, making it two minor placings from three runs this prep. He drops back into country class for this and is the one to beat. COOL SUMMER NIGHTS (7) resumes from a spell after making her debut on September 4 over 1212m at Coffs Harbour, where she finished fifth. She will be stronger now and has had a couple of quiet trials to get ready. Watch the markets. RADIO GA GA (6) is edging closer to her first win, last time running a solid fourth over 1150m at Newcastle-Beaumont. This will be easier, and she will be hard to hold out. ELEGANT FORCE (9) gave away a big start in the straight last run and ran on late for sixth over 1200m at Newcastle-Beaumont 11 days ago. She is peaking third up, and he will be right in the mix here. DOUBLE OR QUITS (1) has placed twice from five runs this prep but was well beaten last start at Kembla Grange. The blinkers are back on. So go again.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run raced on speed throughout when 2nd of 9 at Wyong Prov Mdn on January 25 over 1350m, 4 len behind Hard Jakka with 56.5kg at $2.20. Before that 4th of 11 at Gosford Prov Mdn on January 9 over 1200m, 1.5 len behind Firework carrying 58kg at $4.60. Should be nice and fit fourth up and can get the win here.

Third-up today. Resuming second last of 10 at this track Mdn-Sw on January 12 over 1250m, slow going 6 len behind Damons On A Bender carrying 57kg at $151. Second run from a spell 4th in a small field at Beaumont (Newcastle) Ctry Mdn-Sw on February 2 over 1150m, on a slow track; 3 len behind Arabian Melody with 57kg at $17. Rates highly. Good chance of breaking through for a win here.
