GOING: G(4)

NUTRIEN COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN SHOWCASE PLATE 1100m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 31)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Race To Arms to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. UNSOLVED (5) last appeared on debut over 1200m at Yarra Valley in December where he wasn't beaten far after getting too far back. Now with Mack Griffith and has trialled twice leading into this. Should be good enough to play a major role. RACE TO ARMS (3) led and looked home only to be nailed on the line when favourite on debut over 1000m at Dubbo recently. Great chance to go one better with the help of the inside alley. BULLANT (9) returns from a five-month spell. Showed she has talent during the maiden prep and should return bigger and better this time in. FRATIANNO (2) is still chasing his elusive maiden win after 13 career starts. Resumed last start with a second over 1000m at Tamworth. Include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hard race with so many resuming - lean to Unsolved.
