Has taken a while for this filly to hit the race track but she has shown plenty at the trials.
The daughter of Defcon has been first past the post in both trials, most recently a 2.8 length win here on the Sunshine Coast.
Will get every chance to show her ability from barrier five in a race with not a lot of exposed form to steer us.
Dark Tangent has been racing consistently right throughout this prep and has not been beaten far in all four starts.
The four year old gelding has managed three places this prep including a narrow defeat in town at Eagle Farm last time out.
He will find this easier and he looks primed to break his maiden duck.
Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott send their colt Hyde Park to QLD after finishing fourth on debut at Rosehill a couple of weeks ago.
He ran into a heavy track that day and I’m firm on the opinion that he will be much better back on top of the ground.
Barrier five is perfect and he looks the obvious choice.
Linthorpe Lad raced well in some black type events over the summer period in Brisbane and won twice during his last campaign.
He was beaten 1/4 lengths in the Mooloolaba Cup at this track in November and he’s had a trial leading into this first up assignment.
