GOING: G(4)

TAB COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE 1010m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a keen tempo. PRESTIGE PAK (6) improved in each outing is his first campaign and must be respected from the Lee yard. Tuned up for this with a recent trial and looks very hard to toss in a race decimated by scratchings. EGYPTIAN LASS (4) will be rock-hard fit for this and gets Whiteley in the saddle. A better showing than recent efforts would not surprise. ALLEZE (5) is at the races for the first time but won't need to be a superstar to be competitive against this lot. Keep a close eye on betting moves. PREDICT THE FUTURE (1) debuts for the McGurens after just an okay trial at Coffs Harbour. Can feature in the small field. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Prestige Pak.
