GOING: G(4)

HAHN PREMIUM LIGHT COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE 1100m

Track: Good 4   Clear (Max: 22)   Rail: True.  

Solid tempo with Subsidise possessing enough dash to find the front. NIRMATA (1) debuts and has shown promise at the trials, moving fluently to the line under a hold. Gets a key booking in Bullock and despite the wide draw, if he brings that trial form to race day, he’ll take beating. TERRITORY STYLE (5) was solid on debut at Dubbo when closing off strongly late to just miss the frame. Better with that experience and looks the obvious danger. DON’T SAY DO (11) resumes after a single run where little went right. Has been given time and tuned with a trial. Should return a sharper, stronger filly. Keep very safe. GRAPHIC IMAGE (12) is a newcomer with tidy trial form and hails from a stable that can get them ready first-up. No shock to see her raring to go. TUNCURRY (6) has been solid without impressing in two runs back. Nearing peak now so can't be dismissed. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Nirmata.
