GOING: G(4)

KRYSTIE'S BOUTIQUE COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 27)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with Maktabi going forward from the good alley. JULIET BRAVO (11) comes here with a fitness edge over most of these in a weaker race. Stuck on well when fourth over 1280m at Orange in a Super Mdn. Can get cover on the backup and prove hard to stop. JASPER'S WAY (9) three-year-old gelding by Pariah out of Flagrant on debut for the Mulholland yard. Looked to have plenty up the sleeve when fourth over 860m in a Dubbo trial. Lugging bit goes on and draw helps his chances. MISSY MOSS (12) fitter after two runs back on her home track. Began awkwardly and failed to get into the contest when sixth over 1000m at Orange. Blinkers come off and the extra trip is in her favour. CONVERSATIONS (1) yet to break through in 34 runs and better placed out to the 1200m. Gripped on late when fifth over 1100m at Dubbo. Gets nice weight relief again on the backup. MAKTABI (5) returns from a 38-day let-up and back in trip. Will relish the 3kg claim and since fitted with a 900m Scone trial. Value chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Juliet Bravo each way.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up 6th of 10 at Wellington Cge Mdn-Sw on March 28 over 1100m, 4 len behind Byron's Farm carrying 59kg at $12. Second-up 5th of 10 at Dubbo Mdn-Sw on April 12 over 1100m, 2.75 len behind Curly Bend carrying 57kg at $26. Can't draw a decent gate and stays in the mix.

Most recently 10th of 12 at Wellington Super Mdn-Sw on March 31 over 1400m, in the wet; 8 len behind Devils Daughter carrying 57.5kg at $101. The race before that eased back early on 7th of 10 at Coonamble Ctry Mdn-Sw on March 16 over 1400m, 7 len behind Tainui carrying 59kg at $31. Likely to find this out of reach.

At the latest run second last of 11 at Tamworth Ctry Mdn-Sw on April 1 over 1000m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Nevermista with 59kg at $81. The race before that 9th of 11 at Muswellbrook Super Mdn-Sw on March 14 over 1000m, slow going 6 len behind Enniroc carrying 57.5kg at $151. Couldn't entertain him here on the back of that.

Comes here off a 38-day let-up. Most recently did the work up front then tired 6th of 10 at Wagga Ctry Mdn-Sw on March 13 over 1600m, 4 len behind Beograd Boy carrying 59kg at $15. The run before that 3rd in a small field at Yass Pic Mdn-Sw on March 1 over 1350m, 1.75 len behind Rubrical with 67kg at $2.25. Certainly worth another chance.

Finished off last preparation fifth of 8 at Sapphire Coast Cl1-Sw December 2 over 1600m, soft track; 4.5 len behind Fudge with 53.5kg at $19. When resuming last campaign ninth of 11 at Moruya Super Mdn-Sw October 4 over 1200m, 8 len behind Urafiki carrying 59kg at $67. Others make more appeal.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old gelding by Pariah out of Flagrant. At the most recent trial finished fourth on April 7 at Dubbo over 860m. Gets his chance on debut.

The run before that sat behind the speed prior to fading 10th of 13 at Orange Ctry Mdn on March 23 over 1300m, slow going 5.5 len behind Sure Intentions carrying 56.5kg at $6.50. Don't underestimate.

Recent form sound. Most recently 4th of 8 at Orange Super Mdn on April 11 over 1280m, 2.25 len behind Jolly Good Fellow carrying 55kg at $17. Before that held ground to the line 2nd of 13 at Orange Ctry Mdn on March 23 over 1300m, slow going 0.5 len behind Sure Intentions carrying 55kg at $9.50. Hard fit and finds a winnable race.
