GOING: S(7)

MANNION DRILLING COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN HANDICAP 1000m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 3m 1000m-380m; Cutaway Applies, True Remainder.  

Comma Hut can lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. SUNYANI (12) has been trying to break through for some time and may have found the right race here. She kicked on strongly to hold fourth at Tamworth last time out, finishing just over a length from the winner. With some luck from a tricky gate, she can get the job done this time. REBEL LOVE (11) has needed both of her runs back from a spell and had no chance at Dubbo last time out when having a very tough trip. She cops another wide gate but if she can slot in and find a spot closer to the fence, she can figure in the finish. Stick with her on an each-way basis. COOMA HUT (1) was sent out as a prohibitive favourite on debut at Moree and after missing the jump, he couldn't get into the race. He will be better for the experience and more importantly, he has Aaron Bullock in the irons. Follow your money. WHISTLING STRAITS (7) next best and should be right in the finish with the natural improvement that is expected second up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cooma Hut each way.
