AUSTRALIA DAY RACES AT THE MTC COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 34)   Rail: +5m 1400m-WPost, Ture Remainder.  

Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. UNDER WRAPS (6) is an Astern gelding on debut for the Beasley camp who impressed in his recent trial win when cruising stylishly to the line. With the red-hot Boudvillain booked, he looks ready to kick things off with a bang. RUM JUNGLE (5) continues to chase that elusive maiden victory but has been honest, placing in four of six starts. Has the pace to offset a wide alley and is sure to give backers another bold sight. FORREST DANCER (4) is a Tagaloa gelding on debut for the Spackman camp. Has shown encouraging signs in his trials, particularly the latest when lengthening nicely under his own esteem. Draws to get the gun run for Guymer and can make a winning start. BURNT TO A CRISP (1) is another debutant who has caught the eye in his lead-up work and is worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Under Wraps on debut. Saving on Forrest Dancer.

Gelding by Sizzling on debut. Has looked handy in two trials leading into this. Was runner-up in a trial at Corowa on May 7 over 900m. Has shown positive signs in his lead-up work, no shock to see him featuring.

At the latest run led but faded 3rd of 8 at Queanbeyan Mdn-Sw on November 28 over 1000m, 5.5 len behind All Adore carrying 57.5kg at $12. The race before that led to the turn then faded 6th of 9 at Gundagai Ctry Mdn-Sw on November 14 over 1100m, 5 len behind Silver Serenade with 57.5kg at $9. Speedy enough to offset the wide draw and is sure to give another bold sight in front.

At debut, sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 6th of 9 at this track Mdn-Sw on November 29 over 1200m, slow going 8 len behind Demi God with 58kg at $7.50. Can't see the blinkers improving him enough to threaten.

At the latest run in a small field at Adaminaby Mdn-Sw on November 22 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Sweet And Sour carrying 54kg at $3.50. The run before that didn't do much in the run home; of 7 at Wagga Riverside Ctry Mdn on October 18 over 1065m, 7 len behind Stern Looks with 53kg at $101. Doubt she gets close to the leading prospects.
