GOING: S(6)

COUNTRY COMFORT MAIDEN 1240m

Track: SOFT6   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: +6m Entire.  

Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a genuine tempo. QUESTIONEVERYTHING (4) has trialled impressively coming into this and looks primed for a debut assault on the home deck. Both of his siblings have won races and the 1240m journey doesn't look an issue on debut. Can make an immediate impact. I'LL KEEP HALF (9) is another debutant, this time out of the Ballantyne yard. Her most recent outing at Lark Hill was very impressive and she gets in light after the claim of Hayes. Draws to get her chance and if she can run up to her recent trial, she'll take beating. ROSE'S DELIGHT (10) also comes out of the Steve Wolfe barn and is on debut with the 3kg claimer engaged. The exposed form looks flaky, so with the blinkers on for her debut she may be able to run a cheeky race. HYPERREAL (1) hasn't been far away in his past couple and is sure to be in the finish once again. BAGGER PRINCE (3) is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Questioneverything can land the knockout blow.

The start before that 4th of 9 at Northam Mdn on October 5 over 1100m, on a slow track; 1.4 len behind Pygmalion with 58kg at $13. Not far away over her past couple and he's not out of this.
