GOING: G(4)

WRIGHT MACHINERY COUNTRY BOOSTED MDN HCP 1200m

Track: GOOD3   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Little early pressure with Temple Of Gold, Odette's Orchids and Skyhawk prominent. BARRON (6) has his hoof on the till and gets his chance to get off the mark at start 16. Ran on late from the sticky draw when a close second over 1010m at this track on June 10. Desperate for this trip on the firmer track. Go close. ROCK COMPOSER (2) fitter after two runs back and starting to put it all together. Failed to finish the race off in the heavy (8) conditions when a tiring fifth over 1200m at this track on June 10. In leading stable and conditions suit. ODETTE'S ORCHIDS (9) strong performance at second career run when she sat on the speed to finish a narrow third over 1010m at this track on June 10. Maps well again and can get the job done today. SKYHAWK (3) is close to his top now third-up after charging late to secure third over 1400m at Moree on June 4. Back in trip and sure to be strong late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,2,9,3.
