GOING: H(8)

SOUTHSIDE PHARMACY COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE 1725m

Track: HEAVY 8   Clouds (Max: 18)   Rail: Out 5.5m Entire.  

No recognised leader engaged but More Elements has the pace to work to the front from wide out. SIRIUS FLYER (13) well bred filly with her hoof on the till. Stretched out to the mile for the first time when a gritty second over 1600m at Tamworth on June 21. Can improve further today out to the 1700m. Looks one of the hardest to beat. MORE ELEMENTS (5) ten-start maiden mixing his form. Gets the 4kg claim today and go on his solid second two back when assessing his prospects. Placed this track and trip and looks well placed in this contest. WEE KAHUNA (10) progressed nicely last start when returned to form with a fast finishing second over 1550m at Murwillumbah on June 22. Well drawn and gives the impression this trip suits. BELLABATOOTA (11) found form at her last two runs and surprised at big odds ($51), when a narrow second over 1614m at Taree on June 25. Gets weight relief with the claim and can surprise again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 13,5,10,11.
