GOING: S(7)

MCGUIGAN BMW RACEDAY 29 MARCH COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE 1509m

Track: Soft 7   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Moderate tempo with Golden Boots leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. MISS MIDAS TOUCH (12) caught the eye here on debut when finishing fourth and then improved again to finish runner-up at Coffs Harbour 9 days ago. She has 2kg less to carry this time, and the extra 100m is ideal. On top. HIGHLAND MIRAGE (2) challenged hard here 8 days ago over the same trip when finishing second, and he has the winkers on for the first time, which could make all the difference where it matters most. Stick with him. ACIREALE JAYNE (9) fought on bravely when finishing third as favourite at Tuncurry 10 days ago. She has a nice swing in the draw this time and should be thereabouts again. Each way. ROSSO NERO (3) has not had much luck in 2 starts this year and will be hoping to secure some cover in the running this time. Include in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Miss Midas Touch each way.

The run before that 2nd of 9 at Beaumont (Newcastle) Ctry Mdn on February 10 over 1350m, slow going 4.5 len behind Haze carrying 55kg at $3.30. Not far away of late.
