Taree Race 8 - Tab Venue Mode (Bm58)
INCANTRESS (14) deep into the campaign and drops a few levels today. Chipped away late from back in the field with an even fifth over 1250m at Newcastle in BM68 class. Has a good record here and proven in the heavy conditions. TOO DARN FINESSE (12) improving filly who can go quickly through her grades this time in. Indicated a win was imminent when she closed late for a narrow second over 1100m at Scone. Can overcome the wide gate and figure prominently. SMASHING NOVA (9) handy gelding who got off the mark first-up with a gritty victory over 1210m at Port Macquarie. Winning apprentice sticks and must be kept safe now the penny has dropped. The chances don't end there. HIGHLY TEMPTED (1) eased back early first-up and never got into the contest with a battling eighth over 1210m at Port Macquarie. Proven second-up and both wins have been on heavy tracks. Respect.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming 9th of 14 at Scone Bm66 on May 31 over 1000m, on rain affected going; 7 len behind Detain carrying 57.5kg at $31. Second-up 6th of 8 at Gosford Cl1 on June 11 over 1100m, slow going 3.5 len behind Don't What Me carrying 53kg at $20. Might find this a bit too tough.

Dual acceptor. Recent form sound. Last start held ground to the line 2nd of 10 at this track Ctry Bm58 on June 5 over 1300m, on a wet track; 0.5 len behind Mosgiel Daisy carrying 58.5kg at $9. Before that won by a head at Port Macquarie Ctry Cl1 May 18 over 1006m in the wet defeating Deep Stealth carrying 55kg at $9. Promising effort last time out. Tricky map today and place claims best.

Back in grade and capable of sharp improvement.

At the latest run ran second last of 8 at this track Bm66 on June 5 over 1000m, on heavy track; 4 len behind The Piccolino with 55kg at $101. The start before that eased back early on 7th of 9 at Tuncurry Bm50 on May 9 over 1005m, on rain affected going; 6 len behind Stiorra with 55.5kg at $41. Likely to struggle.
