NARROMINE HARDWARE MAIDEN HANDICAP 1100m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 19)   Rail: +4m 900m-300m; True Remainder.  

Expecting Pollyanna's Best to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint course. HEFTY PRICE (8) recorded his ninth minor placing from seventeen starts when he led but just failed to hang on over 1200m at Tamworth last Monday. Like him coming back in trip a little on the quick turnaround. Today might be his day. BOLD BENDER (9) is a twenty-three-start maiden who was ridden more aggressively last start but tired late and finished fifth over 1200m at Coonamble. Should give a great sight over this slightly shorter journey. THE GIT UP (13) registered yet another minor placing last time out when a game third over 1200m at Coonamble. Will probably race handy and is a solid each-way hope again. MY BOY SCOUT (2) last raced when a moderate fourth on debut over 1000m at Dubbo on 16 February. Should take a lot from that run and is open to plenty of improvement. TINY MISSILE (10) has been in the money at three of her last four. Up in grade but with no weight from the inside draw she is worth considering. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hefty Price to break through.
