RACE TWO
In a hot streak of form TAM OSHANTER (8) lines up looking to make it a handful of wins in succession. Sent forward from the 10m tape last start over the 2647m trip, he took control to bring them home in a smart 57.4 last 800m. From the 20m he looks hard to stop.
FATHER CHRISTMAS (1) features in a stable change to now be prepared by Jack Butler. Runner-up at his last start after finding the 1x1 trail and chasing behind KAPAI, he will be well suited from the inside lane to make the closing challenge.
IM THE COMMANDO (6) should appreciate this grade from the 10m tape after tackling some stronger events in recent outings. Making a costly error last start, he is right in the fight.
HELLO JOLENE JOLENE (5) has been kept fresh since her last assignment when making an early error but still finishing with the silver behind TAM OSHANTER. If she trots cleanly, she can feature.
SELECTIONS: TAM OSHANTER (8), FATHER CHRISTMAS (1), IM THE COMMANDO (6), HELLO JOLENE JOLENE (5)
SUGGESTED BET: TAM OSHANTER (8) to win
