GOING: S(5)

KEL PENFOLD FINANCE COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE 1400m

Track: SOFT5   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: True Entire.  

Although a few sit handy there won't be a great deal of early pressure. HOMELAND (5) is set to peak fourth-up and ready to win. Anchored with the 59kg when fourth over 1300m at Scone on June 23. Backs-up quickly and finds a fairly weak maiden. APACHE JACK (1) only the two runs back and improvement is expected after finishing a plugging seventh over 1300m at Scone on June 23. This looks easier and gets his chance from the low draw. GOTTA FLY (2) fifth-up today and finally draws a decent gate. Had to work hard early when a gritty fourth over 1200m here on June 21. Will go forward and take catching. HIT SONG (3) thereabouts of late and due for a change of luck. Sat on the speed when a fighting third over 1300m at Scone on June 23. A repeat of the latest keeps him in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,1,2,3.

Last start sat on the speed throughout before fading second last of 8 at Scone Ctry Mdn-Sw on June 23 over 1300m, slow going 3.5 len behind Dash By carrying 59kg at $19. Shows promise. Will take beating.
