BENABILLA AUCTIONS COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN HANDICAP 1300m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 25)   Rail: +4m 900m-300m; True Remainder.  

Doubt they will go too hard without a noted leader engaged. CASTRO (1) registered his fifth minor placing from eight starts when an eye-catching third over 1400m at Mudgee last time out. Coming back in trip in a race that will probably lack tempo is not an ideal scenario, but he is going better than most of these. MILLICENT DAISY (8) led in a change of tactics at her latest run but she tired late and missed the placings over 1280m at Muswellbrook. Might run a cheeky race here if they decide to go forward again. PINERO (4) bounced back to form last start over the mile at Tamworth. Not sure 1300m is her go but a top three finish is in her sights. POLENS (9) is a 37-start maiden who can improve second-up - one for the trifectas and first fours. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen to be on Castro.

The run before that second last of 10 at Mudgee Super Mdn on April 5 over 1400m, 8 len behind Mean As carrying 53.5kg at $91. Better effort last time and looks sure to be thereabouts.

Second-up. First start ran last of 7 at Kembla Grange Mid 3yo Mdn on August 30 over 1400m, slow going 8 len behind Autumn Blonde with 57kg at $10. Went for a spell before returning 6th of 10 at Wellington F&M Mdn-Sw on April 10 over 1100m, 6 len behind She Thinks Ahead with 57.5kg at $31. Will need to improve sharply to be any chance.

Most recently sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at Dubbo Mdn-Sw on April 18 over 1400m, 5 len behind Crismera carrying 54.5kg at $21. Before that sat on the pace when 3rd of 9 at Armidale Ctry Mdn-Sw on March 29 over 1300m, 3.5 len behind Our Boy Tom carrying 56.5kg at $26. Minor claims at best.

Last start got back early 7th of 10 at Wellington Ctry Mdn on April 10 over 900m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Hard Choice with 56.5kg at $6. Before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 3rd of 8 at Orange Ctry Mdn on March 22 over 1300m, on a slow track; 0.5 len behind Allusive Intent with 55kg at $21. Encouraging effort last start. Back to his right trip in a race that lacks depth.

Had two starts to date. At very long odds at debut, 7th of 9 at Scone Super Mdn on March 20 over 1000m, slow going 10 len behind Lord Remlap carrying 56.5kg at $71. Second-up led to the turn then faded 5th of 8 at Muswellbrook Ctry Mdn on April 6 over 1280m, slow going 4 len behind Whittello Sun with 55.5kg at $91. Open to plenty of improvement and cannot be ruled out.

Dual acceptor. Second-up. First-up after five months 5th of 10 at Wellington F&M Mdn-Sw on April 10 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind She Thinks Ahead with 56kg at $31. Previously second-up 3rd of 11 at Dubbo Ctry Mdn-Sw on December 3 2024 over 1100m, slow going 1.2 len behind Keadool carrying 57kg at $81. Strips fitter and should improve.
