GOING: S(6)

RACING MATES COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE 1250m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: True.  

It's likely to be tactical given scant early speed. Fairly weak maiden. SQUATTERNUT BOSH (9) unwanted in betting on debut when a tenacious sixth over 1000m at Wagga. Gets a better run today with the claim and will appreciate the extra ground. BIRDY GIRL (7) improving with racing and comes here in peak condition. Motored late from back in the pack when a solid third over 1108m at Port Macquarie. Has the claim again and looks one of the leading chances. MONTGOLFIER (2) beaten for speed early and never looked a winning chance when sixth over 1108m at Port Macquarie. Assess on his good second over this track and trip two back. Hard to hold out. AIRWALKER (6) mare resuming after stretching out in trip. Given the two testing trials for this and can surprise at the each way price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Squatternut Bosh to go close.
