GOING: S(5)

VALE GORDON (JACK) BROWN COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE 1614m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 17)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Moderate tempo expected with Star Of Kongo likely to find the front over Redaluca Girl and Good Karma. REDALUCA GIRL (9) is a consistent mare who finds her race third up. Stalked the speed when she chipped away late with a respectable third over 1600m at Tamworth. Adept in all going and should prove too sharp for these. GOOD KARMA (8) lightly raced mare progressing well this prep. Jumped in trip when she gripped on late for a tough second over 1412m at Coffs Harbour. Will have little trouble running the mile from the good gate. STAR OF KONGO (6) has come back in distance at his last two outings with instant improvement. Led them up at a decent tempo before being nailed late when a narrow second over 1700m at Grafton. Has the speed to get across from the draw and expected to take a hand in the finish. KITSILANO (5) made progress finishing midfield last start at Grafton on soft going, looks suited and worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Redaluca Girl is ready to get off the mark.
