GOING: G(4)

VINERY STUD COUNTRY BOOSTED CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD4   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: +7m 1100m-400m, +5m Remainder. (Pent: 4.85)  

A solid tempo on the cards with On The Quiet leading the way. SMART BUY (2) improving mare who had the dream run from the low draw third up, when a commanding maiden winner over 1300m here. Confidence is high and can keep improving as she gets out in trip. Goes close. OUR EMILY (8) peaked on the run second up when a solid fourth over 1206m at Bathurst. Key jockey change today and looking for this trip now. Respect. EMPRESS TSARINA (1) heavily supported late when he shed his maiden status over 1250m here by a big space. Buckley sticks and gives every indication of running the 1400m out. MAJOR LIGHTNING (3) kept fresh after smashing inferior opposition as fav by 3.5 lens over 1400m at Warren. Trained on the track and place prospects look best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,8,1,3.
