Taree Race 8 - Ladbrokes Thunderbolt Heat 2 F
UNDER ANESTHETIC (2) was below best last time at Q Lakeside (26.22) in a Grade 4/5, finishing a 10 length sixth. Yet to taste defeat in two runs from this draw. Rates on top and should go close. BLACKPOOL IRIS (1) won by 3.5 lengths last start when getting around Ballarat 390m in an outstanding 21.98. Top win latest and rates a key player again. FIREBALL ZED (8) finished in the minors last time but the start prior broke the clock when winning over 300m at this track, taking a Grade 4/5 in an outstanding 17.35. Has the ability and can find winning form again. JET BOOTS TOMMY (7) boasts a solid strike-rate over this trip.

Consistent performer who is new here. Nice win last start easily by 3.5 lengths at Ballarat (21.98) beating Paw Revy in a R/A FIN on April 8. Comes out of a hot form race. Worth following up.

Big odds last time but gave a huge sight after a fast early split, grabbed late but holding on to a placing when a 2.25 lengths third (25.15) over 431m at Gunnedah. In the minors two starts back. Winning chance on best form.

Won two starts back after racing on the pace at The Gardens over 400m in 22.78. Followed that up with a minor placing over 400m at The Gardens at Mix 1/2/3 a week-and-a-half ago. Form from this box is very strong including two wins. Winning hope with the right run.

Sent out long odds last time but rocketed out of the boxes with a fast early sectional and gave a sight before being swallowed up late, finishing a 4 length second (20.13) over 350m at Grafton. Expected to go very well.
