GULLIVERS COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1000m Track: GOOD4 Rain (Max: 27) +3m 800 - 400, True remainder |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Pace sure to be genuine from Move She Can and Wine Time matching motors, closely followed by Starane. MOVE SHE CAN (4) is back after a five-month break. Opened the last campaign with a tough win on debut over this course and distance. Failed over a longer trip at the only other run. Recent trial winner who is all set for a successful return. WATER LAD (5) returns after a 20-week absence. Came from last in a big field to finish second on debut to launch last prep over this trip at Muswellbrook. Likely to be up for this. GIRRAWHEEN (8) last appeared when midfield over 1300m at Newcastle on 29 June. Won with authority on debut over 1100m at Dubbo at her only other appearance. Must be respected. STARANE (2) drove hard late but just came up short when resuming over this distance at Orange a month ago. Kept fresh and sure to be competitive despite a hefty 62kgs. STAR BLING (7) is back for a second campaign. Showed ability when last in work and a good gate helps. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tough race with so many resuming - leaning to Move She Can.
