GOING: G(3)

HERITAGE MOTEL COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE 1400m

Track: Good 3   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: True.  

A solid tempo is anticipated with Carry On Lizzy and Demanda kicking up to hold out the next wave. BRUTAL BELLE (5) keeps finding one better but went down narrowly at Moruya last time. Deserves a change of luck and only needs to hold form to strike here. DOUBTFREE (2) is in the same boat, stringing together four straight placings including Wagga last start. Gets another golden chance to shed the maiden tag. SHOOTING FIRM (9) has had plenty of tries but Cahill knows him well and the claim is a good help. Capable of being in the finish again. REEF ROAD (4) has been inconsistent but at his best can match these and looks a live hope in a thin race. MISS EADIE (8) was fair on debut but flat at Canberra second-up. Keeping safe third-up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Brutal Belle to win.
