Taree Race 2

The Lids Fly Hosted Pots 1-3 Win

Stake: $2,709

CHEVY EXPRESS (7) won again in an impressive display after leading them home to make it two on end at Maitland over 400m (22.45). Winner at his latest appearance in one of the quickest times on the card. Can continue on his winning ways. JUST A JOY (2) has been hard to follow lately, running fourth (17.77) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at this track. Key player on best and worth another try. ELLA BLACK (1) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (18.11) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Strong form has emerged from her last run. Should be about the money. TANGLES TIPPETT (3) gets a chance to improve on an unplaced run at his latest outing at this circuit.

Suited by inside box. Latest effort finished 5th in a Grade 5 on January 17 over 300m at this track behind Big Cutie beaten 9 lengths (18.11). Coming out of a very strong form race. Expected to go well.

Could manage only fourth last time but caught the eye the start prior when she recorded a handy 17.38 over 300m finishing second at this track. Expected to push the clock again here.

Missed the frame last start when sixth and beaten 7 lengths at this track. Form solid prior to that including a win at this track three back. Looks a strong place chance on best figures.

Did a good job two starts back at this track to win by 2 lengths in 17.63, beating Mischief Afoot. Last start finished 4th in a Grade 5 on January 31 over 300m at this track behind Remission Run beaten 4.5 lengths (17.91). Happy enough to dismiss in this field.

Impressive performance to score by 1.5 lengths in a Grade 5 last start at Maitland, clocking a fast 22.45 over the 400m trip. Rates a top chance again if runs up to latest.
