GOING: S(7)

BILNEY BUILDERS COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 7   Clear (Max: 11)   +5m 800m-400m, +3m Remainder Cutaway Applies  

Strong early tempo assured with Better Sun, Aroha and Pushalot locking horns. BETTER SUN (1) improving with racing and a win looks imminent. Sat on the pace with the 59kg when a fighting third over 1175m at Albury on June 7. Likely to go straight to the front today and take running down. KUROKAREN (6) back in trip for this and the blinkers come off. Made up good ground late from the sticky gate when fifth over 1200m at Wagga on June 17. Gets weight relief with the claim and expected to figure prominently. PUSHALOT (2) three runs have been encouraging and will appreciate this easier assignment. Stalked the speed when a close second over 1080m at Canberra Acton on June 14. Blinkers come off and the winkers go on. Gets her chance from the gate. MISS BATURINA (10) will appreciate the firmer track today after struggling in the heavy (9) going when sixth over 1000m at Wagga on May 31. Go on placing two back when assessing her chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Better Sun to win.

Recent form sound. Last start 2nd in a small field at Canberra Acton Mdn-Sw on June 14 over 1080m, 0.9 len behind Bronco Revolution carrying 57kg at $3.50. The start before that gave a sight but was run down late 2nd of 8 at Canberra Acton Mdn-Sw on June 1 over 1080m, head behind Spineless carrying 57kg at $7. Solid prospects and a good gate doesn’t hurt.
