GOING: G(4)

THE EASTER BUNNY COUNTRY BOOSTED CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 29)   Rail: True.  

Lots of speed predominantly from Zoutempus, Sparklenglitter and Miss Mikki Isle. MISS MIKKI ISLE (2) is yet to miss a place in seven starts and worked home well last time at Gundagai. Draws well and should be in the finish somewhere. ZOUTEMPUS (3) was a well supported favourite when resuming with a narrow Goulburn win at this trip. Kept fresh and looks an improver. MOTORBOAT (4) led them up when fresh at Bathurst and comes back 100m here. One of the chances. SPARKLENGLITTER (7) and COMMANDORO (1) are capable of being competitive. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Mikki Isle to win. Save on Zoutempus.

Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming from last on the turn 5th of 10 at Sapphire Coast Bm50 on March 15 over 1007m, 2.5 len behind Arctic Desert with 61.5kg at $3.80. Second-up 6th of 9 at Wellington Ctry Cl1 on March 31 over 1100m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Crook with 59kg at $5.50. Blinkers go on so could be an improver here.

Third race start. Promising on debut set the pace for much of the race 2nd of 8 at Sapphire Coast Ctry Mdn-Sw on December 2 over 1000m, slow going 0.5 len behind She's High Society carrying 58kg at $1.70. Went for a break before returning favourite; came from midfield and won by a neck at Goulburn Ctry Mdn March 23 over 1000m defeating Sir Franklin with 59.5kg at $1.90. Got the job done when resuming and will be fitter so is a big chance.
