GOING: H(10)

THE CHEEKY BUTCHER MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: True.  

Moderate tempo with Barrieanna leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. JUST BREATHE (7) is getting closer to a win judging by her solid second over this distance at Tamworth last start. Very fit after four runs back from a spell and will enjoy the perfect run from an inside draw. Won't get a better chance to finally break through. MORE ELEMENTS (1) was safely held by Just Breathe and others at Tamworth last time out, a disappointing effort after catching the eye to grab second over 1400m at Moree the run prior. Can bounce back. BARRIEANNA (4) appreciated the drop in grade when she found the frame for the first time in her career last Saturday over 1400m at Barraba. In the mix stepping up to the mile for the first time. SUPERCRISP (3) has failed to threaten of late but might be worth one more try with blinkers back on. SELLINYA (8) is hard to enthuse over but is best of the others in a race with a bit of a tail. SUGGESTED PLAY: Just Breathe to win.
