GOING: S(5)

TURF BISTRO @ MVRC COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Rain (Max: 26)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo headed by Zoona Than Later and Acireale Jayne. KING JERRY (2) raced wide in a small field but still found the line with purpose to get up for third last start over 1250m at this track. Beautifully placed out to this trip at his third run. Further improvement is in store and he looks ready to win. CRASHMYPLAYA (6) led in a new role for him but folded up badly last time out over 1200m at Port Macquarie. Should race handy again from the inside gate and with less pressure over today's trip he can offer a lot more. EINSTEIN'S THEORY (1) settled a long way back then worked home in good style to be beaten just 2.6 lengths recently over 1300m at Coffs Harbour. Has only raced twice so over the extra trip he is one to keep an eye on. ACIREALE JAYNE (3) has been about the money at all four runs this time in work. Finding the line well so the step up in trip looks a good move. NIKODY'S DIEGO (7) backs up four days after a modest effort over this distance at Grafton. Has had plenty of chances but can sneak into the frame without surprising. SUGGESTED PLAY: This looks perfect for King Jerry.
