Race-by-race preview and tips for Taree on Thursday
Track Heavy 9 & Rail True. RACE 1 6. Crazy Mikki is a tough home track mare who has done everything but win in a long prep. Has beaten all but the winner in his last three at this track on wet ground, despite twice being forced to do early work from wide draws. Well-placed here from a softer trailing barrier, and she's been given a 23 day freshen-up between runs. Has only missed a place once in six runs on either soft or heavy ratings. 1. Bobby is King is banging on the door third-up after being beaten under a length in two runs back, and has a sound record on rain-affected ground. If he gets across from the wide draw okay, will be right in the finish. 3. Enzoni can improve into his fourth start coming back in distance and 23 days between runs. Watch the betting on 1 0. Mars Landing, an improving two-year-old getting back on to his preferred surface at third start, while 9. The Simple Life also comes back in trip off that same let-up, and can add value into exotic bets. RACE 2 6. Purple Haze is an improving four-year-old bred to thrive in this sort of ground. Much better placed here, dropping back to a far weaker race from a provincial Super Maiden a week ago. 3. Jakubik can improve sharply at his second start back in a weaker company. 5. Montgolfier peaks third-up over more ground, while 1. Dundee Tales draw inside and heads the rest. RACE 3 6. Heart Of Platinum is ready to break through fifth-up off a short break, with blinkers going on. Has run home okay at his last couple in heavy ground, and gets a nice little weight drop in what is a thinner race. 7. Temple Bells is a locally trained improver who hasn't missed a place in four runs this prep, and right at home in heavy going. 1. Dark Stratum is hard fit, and hasn't been far away in his last three, although a query from the wide barrier in this going. 4. Gallant Rush can improve third-up with a key gear change, so too 8. Calamaris who drops back from tougher provincial level, with winkers being added.
