GOING: H(8)

LAKES & OCEANS HOTEL FORSTER COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN HANDICAP 1305m

Track: HEAVY 9   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 2m 1000m-350m. Cutaway Applies.  

Although a few sit handy there won't be a great deal of early pressure. ROYAL TEENS (5) settled midfield but struggled to quicken in heavy ground last start over 1000m at Taree. Lightly raced mare who looks well placed beyond five furlongs for the first time. Worth another chance. GIVE IT A NUDGE (7) has raced well since a nine-week lay-off. Just missed two back at Kempsey then gave away a big start before getting up for fourth last time out over 1000m at Taree. Fitter and ready for this longer journey. REBEL ONE (1) returns after a five-month absence. Raced three times in the maiden prep, with a close fourth over this distance at Taree the highlight. In the mix if he finds that form. SACRED MISTRESS (2) worked home fairly without threatening first-up at Mudgee. Placed over 1350m at the Beaumont on debut last prep which is sound form for a race of this calibre. SMART LILY (3) improved sharply last time out at her second trip to the races. Worth following. SUGGESTED PLAY: Royal Teens each-way.
