NOWRA FRESH SHOWCASE COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN HANDICAP 1200m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 32)   Rail: +2m 1200m-400m .  

Entirely Oak to go to the lead at a genuine tempo. THIS AIN'T TEXAS (11) presents third up for Matt Dale and should be set to improve. She went back to the 1000m journey last start at the Sapphire Coast and just found them too speedy after a promising debut here. Back out in trip is a big tick and she can put her best foot forward. SMOLENSKI (5) is also third up and is showing enough to consider. Has a soft gate and will get every chance. BELLEISTIC BONNY (6) debuts for Canberra's premier stable and has trialled at home. Collett is a positive jockey booking and keep a close eye on the betting with her. BRASS MONKEYS (7) will use an inside barrier and can build on his solid debut at Canberra. SUGGESTED PLAY: This Ain't Texas gets the nod.
