GOING: G(3)

THE AUSTRALIAN LIGHTHORSE COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN HANDICAP 1300m

Track: GOOD 3   Clouds (Max: 24)   Rail: Out 4m 900m-300m; True Remainder.  

Naval Destroyer can show some speed. NAVAL DESTROYER (1) showed some promise for the previous stable and resumes with two trials under his belt and at a suitable trip. Should be hard to beat. BIG WANDJI (2) resumed with a game second at Wellington after racing on the speed. Fitter for it and looks like a major player. GOODBYE STRANGER (3) was a drifter in the betting at second start and held ground okay while LOTS OF FIDDEES (8) and JACKETS (4) have a place chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Naval Destroyer to win. Save on Big Wandji.
