GOING: H(10)

GLOUCESTER FARMERS MARKETS COUNTRY BOOSTED CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1250m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: True.  

Plenty of pace from the outset with Royal Teens and Jeune Dreamon leading the charge. AVOID ME (4) holding her form well and due for a change of luck. Ran on late in the heavy (8) going when third over 1000m at Muswellbrook on April 21. Goes well here and no excuses today. ROYAL TEENS (3) demolished her rivals at start four when a slick 3 len winner over 1305m at Tuncurry on April 18. Gets map favours and can play a leading role again. ORSUM (5) trained on the track and kept fresh for this after finishing fifth over 1175m at Grafton on March 17. Has genuine each way claims. BOB'S LAST ONE (1) anchored with the big weight in the heavy (10) going when fourth over 1262m here on April 28. Improver who can figure prominently. SUGGESTED PLAY: Avoid Me to win.
