RACING MATES COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN HANDICAP 1200m Track: Soft 6 Rain (Max: 17) Rail: True. |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Genuine tempo with Halle Bee and Magic Sorcerer up front. HALLE BEE (4) hasn't been seen since mid-February but was in solid form last campaign without landing the winning blow. Finds a nice race to kick things off and has been readied with a strong trial. Ready. STAR OF SALISBURY (2) comes through two hot maidens. Is on the improve and should be somewhere near his peak third-up. Kept fresh with 44 days in between. Can give this a big shake. HEFTY PRICE (5) caught the eye when flashing home into the placings when resuming at Inverell. Is sure to have come on with that run under his belt and is among the chances. MAGIC SORCERER (7) finds the maiden win elusive but has shown flashes of potential. Is drawn to advantage with his early speed and should give another bold sight. ODE SO MUCH (1) is a Churchill gelding on debut. Has been readied with two solid trials and draws well. Forward showing anticipated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Halle Bee.
