Esk Race 3 - Open Hcp
PALATIAL PRINCE (7) wasn't far away when resuming last start, finishing second over 1000m at Goondiwindi. Has four wins at the trip. Worth following up. DRANG A TANG (1) has had two runs since a break, the latest a win over 1200m at Toowoomba, beaten 1.1 lengths. Has a strong record at the third run in so a big run is likely. ESTE DIA (5) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 0.8 lengths over 1200m at Glen Innes as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three outings. Expect a bold showing. BASIL'S BOW (2) settled well back and failed to live up to expectations over 1400m at Taroom last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. Has the talent to produce a better result. Something for the Multiples: READY AND MABEL (3)
