GOING: S(6)

ANTHONY WISELY CONSTRUCTIONS COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN HANDICAP 1400m

Track: Soft 6   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: +2m 1400m-W/Post, True Remainder.  

Little early speed on offer so Vinari should be prominent. DANTAINS PRIZE (6) is racing in career best form with placings in three of her last five starts. Tried hard over a mile last time and from the good draw will have another chance to break through. RECKLESS BEHAVIOUR (2) was a short-priced favourite when beaten on debut at Albury but inclined to give him another chance going up in distance. Expect a sharp improvement. VINARI (3) comes up in distance now after two handy enough runs and backs up after an even fourth here on Monday. Keep in mind. SUPER JULES (9) has the chance to back up a career best effort and ANABAA'S SPIRIT (4) has a show also coming up in trip. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dantains Prize to win. Save on Reckless Behaviour.

First starter. Four-year-old gelding by Knight Exemplar out of Shy One. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 800m at Goulburn June 13. Hard to get a line on only trial appearance so market a good guide.

Steps up in distance and could be a big improver.
