ALL ABOUT GLASS BATEMANS BAY COUNTRY BOOSTED SHOWCASE CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1010m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 20)   Rail: True.  

Checkendon is expected to lead at a slick tempo. KOOL BIRD (5) turned at the tail of the field before stoking up late to be beaten 3.3 lengths over 1200m here last start. Small query with her coming back in distance but they will go fast and she is capable of some slick final splits. MISS BELGIUM (2) hasn't won for a long while but has been about the mark of late, most recently finishing third over this distance at Canberra. Won't find this any harder so another forward showing is on the cards. DAICOS (8) lines up for the seventh time in nine weeks. Even effort last time out when just behind the placegetters in a BM58 over this course and distance. Should be thereabouts again. Lightly raced mare MIKKI SHIMA (6) is back from a six-month break. Opened the maiden prep with a tough win over this distance at the Sapphire Coast. Has ability and any market confidence should be respected. Veteran mare CONSTANTINOU (7) should be ready to show something at the fourth run back from a spell. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kool Bird to win.
