GOING: S(6)

ALLENDALE MERINO STUD COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: SOFT 6   Clear (Max: 20)   Rail: True.  

No obvious leader in a race that lacks much early pressure on paper. LOTS OF FIDDEES (10) is a 28-start maiden who finds a very weak 1600m maiden. Placed two back at Orange before finishing a close-up fifth over 1300m at Narromine on April 28. Should get the trip and play a leading role. BEOGRAD BOY (1) will find this easier after running on late when fourth over 1300m at Goulburn eight days ago. Raced once over this trip and hard fit now on the quick backup. SULMAHER (7) is a 20-start maiden who stuck on well at Bathurst two back over the 2000m. Resumed with a plugging eighth over 1290m at Orange on April 19. Extra trip suits as well as the 3kg claim. Go close. HUTCHY'S DREAM (4) almost a month between runs when seventh over 1400m at Warren on April 20. Best form can see him sneak into the minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 10,1,7,4.
