GOING: S(5)

ALL THE BEST ROGER MOYLAN COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: SOFT5   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.38).  

Plenty of pressure over the sprint course. TAYLA THE SAILOR (11) resumes and has placed 2/2 fresh. Brings a solid trial hitout and races well at this track/trip. Will likely drift back from the rail but McLellan stays aboard and can present her late. FULL COMMITMENT (8) had good support at Beaumont Newcastle but was found wanting late. She will present at full fitness and has finally been dealt an inside barrier. She's been kept on the fresh side and has decent claims. DEVOTED DEPUTY (2) missed a whisker at Armidale and will be better for it. A winning chance but an outside barrier needs managing. POWERSTONE (7) peaks off three narrow defeats. Running out a strong 1200m is the niggle with her. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tayla The Sailor appeals.

At the latest run 7th of 10 at Scone Ctry Mdn-Sw on April 16 over 1100m, 6 len behind In Summer with 59kg at $101. The start before that led to the turn then faded 6th of 8 at Muswellbrook Ctry Mdn-Sw on February 19 over 1280m, in the wet; 6 len behind Himorher with 59kg at $10. Risking.

Three-year-old gelding (Adelaide - Gold Dragoness) will no doubt benefit from the two trials leading in today's debut. Last trial second in a Scone trial over 1000m April 17. Hard to have in this line up.
