GOING: H(9)

NARROMINE SHIRE COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN HANDICAP 1300m

Track: Heavy 9   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: +4m 900m-300m; True Remainder.  

Solid tempo with Zeebrugge possessing enough dash to find the front. BOUZY'S BABE (5) improving with racing and can race closer today from the low draw. Taken back from the gate and closed off strongly when sixth over 1400m at Armidale. Backs up quickly and ready to win. MISSY MOSS (4) jumped in trip third up when hitting the line strongly for a narrow second over 1200m at Mudgee. Looking for this trip now and finds a winnable race. JASPER'S WAY (2) will take great benefit out of his debut seventh over 1200m at Mudgee. Can sneak into the minor money. RIBELLA (9) fitter now after two runs back and looks the best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bouzy's Babe to shed her maiden status.
