    Race Analysis

    TACITLY (8) is a two-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 3 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 7f at Randwick. Plenty of scope for improvement and is a great chance to break through. BASSETT'S CHOICE (10) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when tenth, beaten 11 lengths, over 7f at Randwick. Finds a more suitable contest and can turn things around. CHIEF OF STAFF (2) settled well back and never came on when resuming last start, finishing eighth and beaten 15 lengths over 6f at Doomben. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. FIREY TRUTH (6) drifted back early on debut last start then worked home strongly to finish 3 lengths away in third at Beaumont (Newcastle) over 6f. Has upside and worth including.
