GOING: G(4)

NALDER FAMILY COUNTRY BOOSTED SHOWCASE CLASS 3 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: Good 4   Rain (Max: 31)   Rail: True.  

Solid pace with Taipan Legend finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. COELLA (4) settled next to last in a big field and struggled to get involved in a Rosehill Highway over 1500m last start. That came off a seven-day back-up which may have been too quick. Cherry ripe after four runs back and might need this trip now. GREEN RUN (5) backs up three days after a game third over this distance at Orange where he raced on the speed and wouldn't lie down. Drops 5kgs and should give a tremendous sight. ALWAYS FIORENTE (8) wasn't suited dropping back to 1300m last start at Dubbo so the failure is best overlooked. Has a fine record at the mile including a win here. Can bounce back. TAIPAN LEGEND (1) has been freshened up since a gutsy second over 2100m at Tamworth five weeks ago. Twice a winner at this distance and should give a good account again. AUTUMN SONG (3) has won three from five at the mile and is ready to find form at the third run back from a spell. SUGGESTED PLAY: Coella on top.
