GOING: H

bet365 Bet Boost Maiden Plate 1200m

Track: Heavy 8   Clear (Max: 11)   Rail: Out 3m 900m - 400m, True Remainder. (Pent: 6.45)  

Plenty of pace evident with Miss Kanimbla and Silver Snow leading the way from Two Cubed and Cowboykickedfive. Nice race to kick off proceedings with several progressive types who have run well in a limited number of starts. None more so than RACETOTHEBOTTOM (5) who has filled a placing at his only two outings. Was beaten over 5 lengths on debut, but cut that margin to less than half-a-length last time on a track that didn't really suit. Will be much more at home on the spacious surrounds of Hamilton and has drawn to settle a little closer. SILVER SNOW (6) will start from the inside alley and turned in an improved effort last start, so reluctant to dismiss. TWO CUBED (11) as had a few chances but has placed in several and needs to be respected. PARCHMENT (9) has been given plenty of time since her debut campaign and can return on a good note. SUGGESTED PLAY: Racetothebottom to win

At debut, held ground to the line 3rd of 12 at Warrnambool Mdn-Sw on July 24 over 1100m, on heavy track; 1.75 len behind Eire Of Fortune with 59.5kg at $7. Will derive great benefit from that hit-out and looks a great chance to break through.
