Tatura tips and results

Our price $9.00 · SP $9.00 · Damien Thornton

The best exposed form in the race. He ran a close third at this track last start, beaten under a length, and that is the strongest recent line here. Second-up today, he should strip fitter and is drawn to get the right run in midfield. A smart stable sends just this one. Still a maiden after four starts, which is the obvious knock.

Our price $8.50 · SP $7.00 · Jett Stanley

Closed strongly for fourth last time, beaten only a length and a half after settling near last, the best finishing effort in the field. His trainer does well at Tatura and he has the inside gate. The concern is the track's strong on-speed bias, which makes life difficult for a get-back runner, and his jockey is yet to win here.

Our price $11.00 · SP $16.00 · Cory Parish

Second-up now, drawn inside, and his trainer wins with a third of his runners at this track. Value.

Our price $16.00 · SP $26.00 · Stephanie Hateley

Still a maiden but not without claims on her better runs, and the first-time winkers are a genuine sharpening move for a mare who has shown early toe. She settles midfield rather than out the back, which is the right map for this track, and steps back onto Good ground from a heavy-track run last start.

Our price $3.00 · SP $2.10 · Celine Gaudray

The clear form pick. He has been racing in good maidens and repeatedly leads and holds on, with close placings at 1600m and 1700m his most recent efforts. Tatura's mile rewards handy runners and he maps to be right there from a good gate. The knock is that he has not won in seven tries and three others may press for the lead, but on class and consistency he is the one to beat.

Our price $11.00 · SP $26.00 · Stephanie Hateley

She is the Tatura specialist of the field, having finished second at both her starts here, including a strong closing effort over the mile last time out. She carries little weight, settles in the perfect handy spot for this track and should be finishing hard if the pace is hot up front.

Our price $9.00 · SP $4.80 · Brad Rawiller

Last start he led over 1590m and was collared only late, beaten a length, and today he draws the inside gate with a top rider up for a stable going well. If the expected hot tempo burns off the leaders, he is well placed to sit just behind and pounce.

Our price $6.50 · SP $6.50 · Lachlan King

A consistent on-pace mare whose best form is at this trip — three placings from four starts around 1400m, including a good second in stronger company. She maps to sit third behind the two leaders, a good spot at Tatura, and is entitled to improve second-up.

Our price $9.50 · SP $8.00 · Mitchell Aitken

A genuine front-runner who gets the inside draw and drops back to Class 1 after mixing it in stronger BM62 company. Tatura's short straight and leader-friendly profile suit him, and the map says he can lead without pressure.

Our price $16.00 · SP $19.00 · Jett Stanley

Handy type who can settle in the first handful and ran up to a winning standard two starts back over 1600m.

Our price $2.70 · SP $2.70 · Damien Thornton

She is the form pick. Her last-start second over this track and trip, at this very grade, is the strongest recent evidence in the race, and she is an improving mare on the way up. The worry is her get-back style on a track that heavily favours on-pace runners, plus top weight and a thin Good-track record. Still the one to beat and a clear win play.

Our price $4.50 · SP $4.80 · Olivia East

She is the on-speed runner the track profile wants. The wide gate is the obvious query for a leader and she does not win often, but she should be right in the finish and is a solid each-way play.

Our price $6.50 · SP $4.20 · Stephanie Hateley

The value angle. She does her best work on Good ground and her stable is flying.

Our price $4.50 · SP $2.80 · Jason Maskiell

A reliable type who has been holding his form in stronger races, closing well for second last start and running a luckless sixth before that after getting held up. He draws to get a lovely trail in behind what shapes as a frantic early scramble and should be charging late. The distance is a small query and he doesn't win often, but the stable is firing and the race shape suits him better than most.

Our price $4.50 · SP $2.90 · Stephanie Hateley

Her latest effort was full of merit against stronger company, running on strongly. The knock is that she finds one better far too often, and from an inside draw she'll need luck in a race with plenty of early speed.

Our price $12.00 · SP $26.00 · Teodore Nugent

Her recent runs stack up strongly for this grade, she's drawn to get the right run in midfield and she's a previous winner at this track. Light weight and a jockey who knows Tatura well add to the appeal. In an upset-prone race she shapes as a genuine overlay.

Our price $6.50 · SP $3.80 · Olivia East

A ten-time winner who can lead or take a sit behind a hot speed, he has the tactical edge. Top weight is the query.
