Inverell Race 4 - Tatts Hotel (Bm82)
TALANA (4) is in career best form and chasing his third win from his last four starts. Ploughed through the heavy (8) going with a dominant win over 1614m at Taree with the 57kg. Well placed for this with the claim and can handle the class rise from the good gate. NEW PHAROAH (2) talented gelding on the quick back-up. Covered a stack of ground from the wide gate and no match for Shotgun Bella when eleventh over 1400m at Scone last Friday. Expected to go close. KAIHOKO (1) comes back a few levels today and no surprise to see him score a well-deserved victory. Taken back early in the heavy (8) conditions with a battling eleventh over 1200m at Eagle Farm in BM70 company. Can get the job done over this trip. SHAGGY ROGERS (5) chipped away late first-up with a respectable seventh over 1200m at Quirindi. Ready for the trip and gets in light with the 4kg claim.

Dual acceptor. Most recently 5th of 16 at Scone Countrycup on May 15 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Shotgun Bella carrying 55kg at $51. The race before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 3rd of 10 at Gosford Bm64 on April 25 over 1600m, 1.5 len behind Stellar Rhonda with 58.5kg at $17. Definitely one to consider on the back-up.
