GOING: G(4)

CROYDON CHRISTMAS COCKATOOS COUNTRY BOOSTED CLASS 2 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clouds (Max: 36)   Rail: True.  

Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Calais Bliss and Miss Mikki Isle. BOMBAY BOOM (2) led and won his Maiden easily at Albury and then was nudged out in a CL1 at Canberra. He has even better Metro form in the tank and third-up will take beating from the inside barrier. VOLTAGE LASS (9) is also a live chance. Won her Maiden at the Sapphire Coast on debut as expected before being beaten a whisker in a 58 at Goulburn. That sticks right up, and she maps for a cosy run. BRIDIE'S LUCK (4) drops back from 66 level and assess her chances on the nose defeat at Albury two back. Has an inside barrier and is well-placed with the 3kg claim. SHERIDAN STREET (7) deserved her win in a Wagga 55 and tumbles in weight. Peaks now and she can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Bombay Boom appeals most.
