The $30,000 Tassie Golden Apple is the highlight of the night and our star pacer Ryley Major will be looking to capture another feature race. He won’t have it all his own way from his 30 metre back-mark over the short trip and will need another freakish performance to be winning, with stiff opposition from Full Speed Ahead and Dasher Houli in what promises to be a great clash.
Last season’s star two-year-old filly Blame it on Me makes her return off a good trial win last week. She draws inside the second row over the short trip, so I wouldn’t be rushing in at short odds but if she does get a crack at them can handle the class rise.
