GOING: H(8)

MCGRATH COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: Heavy 8   Rain (Max: 13)   Rail: True.  

Another Peach to take up the running with Thor's Lightning and The Git Up close at hand. ANOTHER PEACH (9) couldn't be any better placed in this field to break through first-up in her second preparation. Trialled well, nicely drawn and lack of depth in opposition makes her hard to go past. GREAT IDEA (2) was a big drifter on debut back in March but ran a handy race before being spelled. Another trial winner leading into this and stays under notice. THE GIT UP (12) missed a place at Narromine last time which is rare for her and she's an each-way chance from the inside alley. SILENT ACE (6) is a big watch on debut for local trainer and leading jockey. THOR'S LIGHTNING (7) needs to improve but has the chance to at this trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Another Peach to win.
