GOING: H(10)

TAB COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN HANDICAP 1310m

Track: HEAVY 10   Rain (Max: 24)   Rail: +3m 1000m-250m Cutaway Applies, True Remainder .  

Moderate tempo with Spoiler leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. PIERRE CARDINNIGAN (1) is another decent chance for the Matt Dunn stable. He'd trialled well before missing a whisker here on debut heavily bet. Fitter and can go one better. IRISH GIFT (2) just missed on the same day and it was a good effort. He will be fitter again and maps for a soft run. CHURCH ROCK (4) resumed with a half-length defeat at Grafton and can build on that. Has an awkward gate but will be in the finish with average luck. KOBAYTERA (5) also draws out but is busting to win and can't be ruled out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Pierre Cardinnigan.
