GOING: S(7)

ARMIDALE SERVICES/ NARRABRI RSL COUNTRY BOOSTED SHOWCASE MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: SOFT 7   Clear (Max: 15)   Rail: True .  

The pace looks very strong with plenty of speed engaged. The lightly raced SEE YOU THEN (7) returned from a spell as warm favourite last start but found one better over this course and distance. Sure to improve with that run under the belt and in a shallow race she gets her chance. NUGGET SMART (2) returns from a four-month spell. Ran a couple of cheeky races at the end of his maiden campaign in longer races than this. Five furlongs looks a nice trip while fresh so expect him to be highly competitive. RUBILICIOUS (6) led for home in the same race as See You Then when fresh from a spell here recently but tired late and missed the placings. Not out of the equation with the help of the inside gate. HELLWITHASMILE (1) is a Zousain gelding on debut for local trainer Cody Morgan. Impressing at the trials so keep a close eye on the market's opinion. The winner should come from this quartet - for wider exotics include RANSOM'S GIRL (5) who is second-up today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing See You Then.
