ARROWFIELD COUNTRY BOOSTED SHOWCASE MAIDEN HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: +1m 800m - 400m, True Remainder. (Pent: 5.20)  

Dunquin should spear straight to the front of the small field. DUNQUIN (1) has his hoof on the till at start three from the better gate. Showed good early speed from the outside barrier with a fighting on-pace fourth over 1350m at Wyong in a Super Maiden. Back in class and expected to go close. MONUMENTAL (3) So You Think gelding from a Fastnet Rock mare on debut for the Messara & Gavranich stable. Has shown ability in both his trials and will appreciate the 1400m on debut. Look for him to close well. COURSE OF ACTION (2) Exceedance gelding from the good producing mare Sacred Choice on debut for the Cavanough yard. Wasn't pushed out in the two trials and must be kept safe from the good barrier. SPEEDY PETE (4) came out fast and the early told late with a tiring fifth over 1400m at Armidale. On the quick back-up and gets a better set-up for this. Value player. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dunquin can get off the mark at start three.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, set the pace for much of the race 3rd of 12 at Port Macquarie Cge Mdn-Sw on February 8 over 1106m, 3 len behind Night Agent carrying 58.5kg at $3.30. Second-up sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 9 at Wyong Super Mdn-Sw on February 26 over 1350m, slow going 1.75 len behind Serpico with 58.5kg at $4.20. Plenty of scope for improvement and is right in the mix from the better draw.
