Taree Race 9 - Ladbrokes Thunderbolt Heat 3 F
QUICK THINKIN' (1) has an excellent record here having never missed the placings in five starts, including two wins and three placings. Below best last time at Wentworth Park (30.49) in a Grade 5, finishing a 3.5 lengths fourth. Rates on top and should go close. WHERE'S THE LUCK (6) was strongly fancied but finished second last time (17.63) at this track, bringing a three-run winning streak to an end. Must be included in calculations. RIPPED RACCOON (8) has an excellent record over this journey having never missed the placings in 11 starts, including 10 wins. Scored by 12 lengths last time (17.29) in a Mix 1/2/3 over 300m at this track. Makes strong appeal on best. TOMMIE'S BRIDE (2) comes into calculations after placing most recently.

Returns from a nine weeks break and only other fresh up run was on debut, when a 20.07 winner over 350m at Grafton. Likely to find this a bit tough.

Found the going tougher last start when third over 300m at this track. That followed a win two back in 17.48 beating Red Brook over 300m at this track. Others have better credentials.

Got back last start and could only manage eighth but before that won by 0.8 lengths at this track (18.13) beating Mum's On Fire in a Grade 5 on May 20. Can't recommend against this lot.
