SHIRE LAW COUNTRY BOOSTED CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW- CLASS 4 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: HVY8   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: +2m 1200m-400m .  

Moderate tempo expected with Cando Attitude likely to find the front over You're On Mute and Magic Bertie. CANDO ATTITUDE (2) picked up from where she left off with a 1.2L victory in good fashion at Wagga 24 days ago. The rise in trip suits and she maps beautifully to be close to the speed. Can extend her winning run. ISCHYROS (1) settled in the second half of the field at Goulburn last time and closed strongly off a 39-day break. That effort stacks up in this field and he's not to be discounted with Boudvillain in the irons. THE MAIN EVENT (4) was outclassed first-up at Warwick Farm but will appreciate this easier race today. Expecting sharp improvement. VEREEVA (7) closed off nicely last start at Moruya and is worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cando Attitude can remain unbeaten.
