GOING: H(9)

RIVERINA PLASTER WORKS COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: HEAVY 9   Rain (Max: 12)   Rail: +3m entire.  

From the inside gate Demanda will dash through and lead from Reds Express and Parker's Paradise. FIRE CHAT (3) deep into the prep and has his hoof on the till out to the 1200m. Found the 1000m too short from the sticky gate with a battling third at this track in the heavy going. Maps well for this and will take holding out. DISTANT STRIPES (2) senior rider hops back on today after he returned to form with a close-up third over 1175m at Albury. On the quick back-up and has top-three claims. REDS EXPRESS (10) total forgive from the outside draw when sat on the speed and faded in the straight to run eleventh over 1000m at Narrandera. Gets the gun run today with the claim and has a host of gear changes. Sure to be thereabouts. PARKER'S PARADISE (9) even debut when no match for the smart Dirtballer to secure second over 1005m at the Sapphire Coast. Winkers go on and stays in the mix. RIVERBEND GOLD (4) is capable of better and can sneak into the minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Fire Chat ticks plenty of boxes in a winnable contest.
