GOING: S(7)

CRJC TRUCK SHOW & SHINE 8 JUNE COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN HANDICAP 1435m Track: SOFT 7 Rain (Max: 19) Rail: Out 7m Entire.
Genuine tempo with the speedy Smokehouse Brown taking up the running. SHEZ LETHAL (8) finds it tough to break the ice but has turned in some nice efforts. Draws well for Looker and is ready to play a major role. SUN TOPAZE (9) progressed nicely third up when finishing a close third at Inverell. Further improvement is to come and is among the key chances. SMOKEHOUSE BROWN (3) has struggled to threaten of late but looks to strike an easier assignment this time. In the mix this time. JIVE TURKEY (1) comes through a strong maiden here last start where there have been three subsequent winners. Strips fitter third up and can settle closer from the kinder draw. Can give this a shake. GIVE IT A NUDGE (5) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Shez Lethal.
