GOING: G(4)

GOULBURN ROOFING COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 25)   Rail: +7m, +9m 950m-350m; Cutaway Applies. (Pent: 4.83)  

Prairie Legend should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. FLYING CHEVROLET (3) has changed stables since her last start at Kembla Grange and should enjoy the smaller local stable of Mary Bray. She was placed 4 times at provincial level, which is good form for this race, and with the advantage of a 2kg claim, she will be hard to hold out. SURE INTENTIONS (10) has been heading the right way with his form and has been freshened up since a last start second at Queanbeyan just over 8 weeks ago. A recent trial placing will have him ready to run another big race. BEDOUIN BEAR (6) ran his best race in some time when finishing on strongly to run third here 11 days ago. The extra furlong will help, and he can figure in the finish again. OBVIOUS ICON (1) has won both of his public trials on this track and will be primed from a good draw to make a positive start to his career. Let the market be your best guide. POLENS (7) had an excuse last time out and has a senior hoop in the saddle this time. Each value. SUGGESTED PLAY: Flying Chevrolet to win.
