POGSON CRONIN KERR SOLICITORS COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN HANDICAP 1175m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 29)   Rail: +2.5m 1000m-400m, True Remainder.  

Anticipating good pressure with many of these facing the starter for the first time. Tricky. HOLD THIS (1) debuts and won his latest trial by 4L at the track with race rider McDougall aboard. He strikes at 25% this venue (352 rides) and 20% with the Scott yard. This is winnable for the promising gelding. The danger may well be another debutant, GO COMMANDO (2), who has been saved for this by the in-form Seib yard. Has the inside gate and has trialled at Goulburn and Rosehill. Boudvillain rides, and he flies with the stable. GOBINDA (5) peaks off two threatening efforts at Wagga Riverside. Has an awkward gate but he sets the standard for the newcomers. The Canberra-trained EXTREMELY EXCITING (8) has been disappointing, but she can improve second up and is one for the exotics at a price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hold This appeals on what we've seen.
