KNK BUILDERS COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: True.  

Not much early pressure but Chentileeno, Malinga Missile and Cammi can take up forward spots. CHRISTMAS STAR (10) nice return when attacking the line late to finish third over 1000m at Orange. Finds a very weak race today and set to get off the mark. CHENTILEENO (1) resumes from a lengthy break after failing to finish over 1400m at Wagga last September. Blinkers come off and impressed when a recent 800m trial winner. Looks to be the main danger. CAMMI (5) better performance when gripping on late to secure third over 1400m here at latest. Can take a hand in the finish again. PRIZED ALWYNS (8) needed the run first up when fifth over 1200m at Kembla Grange. This is easier and capable of improving. SUGGESTED PLAY: Christmas Star to win.
