GOING: S(7)

TWO RIVERS WINES SHOWCASE COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE 1280m

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

Apparently to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. FIFTY FIVE MUSTANG (1) finished runner-up at his last two outings and has his hoof on the till. Resumed with a fast finishing second over 1100m at Scone after drifting back early from the wide draw on April 16. Fitter now and looks well-placed for this. READ 'EM AND WEEP (11) finished third at her last three outings and racing like the 1200m will suit. Tried hard with the 58kg when a gritty third over 1100m at Scone on April 16. Go close. SHEILA'S FANTA SEA (13) much better showing at start two when a plugging third over 1005m at Tuncurry on April 18. Improver with each-way claims. APPARENTLY (7) resuming after a seven-month break. Showed potential last time in and since fitted with a recent 1000m trial. In leading yard and market moves must be monitored. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 1,11,13,7.
