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.
