Taree Race 1 - Jim Anderson Earthmoving Mdn Plate
SMASHING NOVA (7) showed good speed and stuck on well for second over 1250m here last time out. The blinkers go on, and he can go one better. STERN DISPUTE (8) should find this easier than his debut third four weeks ago over 1200m at Gosford. He has a good draw and looks a likely improver. Each-way. KIRKALL (3) bounced back from an unplaced first-up run to finish third last start over 1250m at this track and finds a suitable race to be in the mix. CHISTOTA (1) had support on debut and boxed on fairly for fifth, 4.5 lengths away over 1200m at Port Macquarie, and rates a solid top-three chance. RIGA (5) resumes after a winning trial and looks like a genuine each-way contender.
