GOING: H(8)

JRC ELECTRICAL SERVICES COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN HANDICAP 1065m

Track: Heavy 8     Rail: True.  

Expecting a strong pace from the outset with plenty of speed engaged. PALAIS DU RHIN (11) best performance in five career starts when holding on to run second two back at Gundagai in the heavy going. Was three weeks between runs when a fading eighth over 900m at Albury from the sticky gate. Key jockey change and ready to break through. RITA RED (5) consistent mare ready to get off the mark. Set to peak third up after finishing a close third in a strong contest over 900m at Corowa. Trained locally and gets weight relief. PARTY BOSS (7) talented gelding resuming. Never looked a winning prospect when outclassed from the wide draw to run tenth over 1200m in the G3 Black Opal Stakes at Canberra. Gelded over the break and can sprint well fresh. VINARI (4) raced handy on debut but no match for Marvel Man when second over 1100m at Bathurst. Strips fitter and gets her chance from the low draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 11,5,7,4.

Three-year-old gelding (Strasbourg - Splendid Tiara) will no doubt benefit from the three trials prior to his debut today. Fourth over 900m in an Albury trial on July 18. In leading yard and must be kept safe.
