GOING: S(5)

WRHS VOLUNTEER BBQ CREW COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN HANDICAP 1310m

Track: Soft 6   Clear (Max: 36)   Rail: +2.5m 950m-300m; +1.5m 300m-W/Post; True Remainder.  

Zosma should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. TORQUE SO HOT (4) trapped wide from the draw on debut when a battling fifth over 1212m at Coffs Harbour. Gets the right set-up for this and he finds a very weak contest. ZOSMA (2) seven-start Maiden who shapes as the main danger on the quick backup. Gripped on late when second over 1215m at Coffs Harbour. Has the talent to test this line-up. PRESSIPITATING (9) back in trip for this from the good gate after running fifth over 1412m at Coffs Harbour. Blinkers go on and assess on earlier efforts. ARTIE LADY (6) lightly raced filly who caught the eye late on resumption with a handy sixth over 1212m at Coffs Harbour. Blinkers go on and no surprise to see her finish over the top of these. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 4,2,9,6.

First starter by San Padre out of Fastest Dash. Has a total of two trials prior to his debut today. Trial form has been pretty ordinary and inclined to let him go around in this.
