Taree tips and results

Our price $2.80 · SP $2.60 · Olivia Dalton

She brings the strongest recent form, a light weight, and a tactical map that suits this slow, heavy Taree sprint. While her heavy record is unproven, her overall consistency and class edge over these rivals make her the most likely winner.

That run gives him a foundation to build on. He may need luck from the wide gate but has enough early speed to offset it. A solid place chance.

Our price $5.50 · SP $6.50 · Kacie Adams

While he disappointed second-up when 6th over 1250m, the quick backup (9 days) and removal of hind bandages suggests the stable has made adjustments. The Adams/Kelly combination is highly effective (21% strike rate), and Adams knows this horse well. The major concern is barrier 8, which is problematic on Heavy ground at Taree, potentially forcing him wide or requiring early energy expenditure. The 59kg is a concern but his class edge over this field may compensate. Each-way appeal given the wide draw risk.

Our price $8.50 · SP $31.00 · Aaron Bullock

Lightly-raced filly with the benefit of Aaron Bullock, who is riding in career-best form with a 25% strike rate from his last 20 rides. This is a significant positive in a maiden race where jockey skill can make a substantial difference. The barrier 2 draw is crucial on Heavy 9, allowing her to save ground and position herself economically.

Cupid's Kiss is a heavy-track specialist who ran an excellent 2nd in a stronger BM66 here last week. She drops in grade and draws ideally for a midfield run. The fast tempo should help her finish off.

Our price $4.50 · SP $6.00 · Kacie Adams

The gelding's strong closing ability is well-suited to the long straight, and the predicted slow tempo should set up perfectly for his run from midfield. However, limited Heavy track experience (only 2 starts) and a declining form trend with no wins since September are concerns.

Our price $8.00 · SP $8.50 · Jeff Kehoe

King Soleil is a proven Heavy track and Taree specialist who ran 2nd here last start at this distance on similar Heavy ground. The class drop from BM58 to Class 2 is a positive, and his inside barrier allows him to settle handy in the predicted slow tempo.

Our price $3.20 · SP $3.40 · Mollie Fitzgerald

Progressive 3yo filly who won well here on Heavy 8 over 1400m and draws ideally to land top 3 pairs in a race lacking genuine speed. The Taree heavy profile rewards being within range by the 400m, and she fits that map. While up in trip and class, her wet-track record, local win, and weight make her the most likely winner.

Our price $8.50 · SP $12.00 · Ben Looker

Set to improve back to the mile on heavy with blinkers reapplied. Has multiple 1600m heavy placings and draws to settle in the first half, which is vital at Taree in a slow tempo race.

Our price $8.00 · SP $6.00 · Mollie Fitzgerald

Recent Heavy form is solid with 3rd last start and a win three runs back, both on Heavy 9 surfaces. The 5:1-0-2 Heavy record proves genuine wet track ability. Barrier 3 and light weight 56kg are significant positives on testing ground. Trainer Cheers knows the track well.

Our price $10.00 · SP $7.50 · Zac Wadick

A consistent Heavy track placegetter who ran 2nd last start on Heavy 10, though beaten a long way. The 6:0-2-0 Heavy record shows he handles the conditions without being a genuine wet tracker. Barrier 2 is a major positive allowing him to save ground and settle handy.

Our price $3.50 · SP $2.05

Nikody's Binks holds a critical map advantage as the lone speed from barrier 2. Last start winner at Taree on Heavy 9, he's a proven track specialist. The 2kg rise and distance query are concerns, but the tactical scenario is so favourable it outweighs these negatives.
