GOING:

XXXX GOLD COUNTRY BOOSTED SHOWCASE MAIDEN HANDICAP 1526m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 2.5m 950m-300m. Out 1.5m 300m-W/Post.  

Looks a tactical race on paper with no early speed evident. THREE GRACES (7) holding her form well and a win looks imminent. Kept up to the mark with a recent trial placing and no excuses from the good gate. Go close. HUDSON'S LENNY (2) is a 12-start maiden who gives the impression the extra trip will suit. Maps to get the right run and finds a fairly weak maiden. MAX 'O' MAX (3) fourth up for this and drops in weight and trip after finishing a plugging fourth at Grafton at latest. Stays in the mix. SAKURA MAGIC (5) fitter after three runs back and was a total forgive from the wide draw when 11th over 1720m at Grafton on September 9. Expect improvement today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Three Graces to win.

Second-up got back early 6th of 10 at this track Ctry Mdn on September 12 over 1320m, 3.5 len behind Miss Uchitel with 58.5kg at $101. Can't enthuse despite stepping up to 1526m.

The race before that 4th of 14 at Ipswich Mdn-Sw on July 5 over 2170m, slow going 6 len behind Backlit Beauty carrying 56.5kg at $9. Fitted with a recent trial and looks hard to beat.
