GOING: S(5)

PANTHERS GROUP 3 JUNIOR RUGBY LEAGUE MID NORTH COAST MAIDEN PLATE 1500m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

Bohemian Art has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. SURPASSER (7) is improving with racing and should relish the extra trip from the low gate. Stuck on well at his second race start with the 58kg when a handy fifth over 1250m at Taree. Senior rider on and he gets the right run. BOHEMIAN ART (9) deep into the prep and a win looks imminent. Returned from a let-up with a tenacious second over 1500m at this track. Strips fitter and has the talent to take this out. BOBBY (6) expecting a much better performance here as he steps up to the 1500m. Chipped away late when fifth over 1305m at Coffs Harbour. Finds an easier race from the good barrier. Minor place contender. BOULEVARD BOY (1) in need of the run first-up over the unsuitable trip when sixth over 1250m at Taree. Comes to hand quickly and proven at this distance range. SUGGESTED PLAY: Surpasser and Bohemian Art can fight it out.
