GOING: S(6)

ROB YOUNG COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN SHOWCASE PLATE 1400m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Expecting Squatternut Bosh to lead Ol' Mate Coop at just a moderate tempo. IMPENDING FORTUNE (2) has progressed nicely in his three runs to date, the latest appearance just ten days ago when he closed hard to finish a close second over 1300m at Moree. Draws in close and out to 1400m looks the ideal scenario. SQUATTERNUT BOSH (9) last raced over a month ago when she tired late in a 1250m Taree maiden. Might need this sort of trip now so a small investment at cricket score odds may be worthwhile. PIEDI VELOCI (3) tackled today's journey for the first time last start when he worked home well to get up for fourth at Grafton. Should race closer this time from the inside alley and is a definite contender. FINDING ELLE (6) has had plenty of chances but has placed three from four at 1400m which means she must go in the exotics. OL' MATE COOP (13) doesn't know how to run a bad race and looks sure to be in the finish yet again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Impending Fortune.
