GOING: S(6)

WESTSIDE HOTEL COUNTRY BOOSTED SHOWCASE 3YO & UP MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 15)   Rail: True.  

Fast pace assured with Beaumista, Bounding Bon and He'sthechief leading the charge. HE'STHECHIEF (5) started a solid fav at his second run back when dislodging his rider near the 300m over 1000m at Muswellbrook in a Super Mdn on May 2. Since fitted with a sharp 900m trial win at Gunnedah and the winkers go on. Hard to hold out. BEAUMISTA (4) smart return in the heavy (8) going when attacking the line late for a solid second over 1000m at Tamworth. This looks a little easier and won't have to improve much to take this out. KOBOLD (10) near her top now third up and back in trip after chipping away in the rain affected going when third over 1200m at Bathurst. Well drawn for this and will be running on late. FUEL THE JET (1) lightly raced gelding returning from a lengthy break. Started fav on debut when closing strongly for an even third at Narromine over 1100m last September. Given the one trial in readiness for this when second over 900m at Gunnedah. Inside gate is a bonus with the crossover nose band going on. SUGGESTED PLAY: He'sthechief to shed his maiden status.
