GOING: G(4)

TAB COUNTRY BOOSTED BENCHMARK 58 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: Soft 6   Rain (Max: 33)   Rail: True .  

Genuine tempo from Cool Fizz leading Back On De Quo. Scratchings have taken the key runners, so KIRRA'S SISTER (4) resumes as top pick. Last appeared when back in class and trip for a maiden victory over 860m at Gatton on April 29. Fitted with the one 1000m trial and gets her chance with the claim. BACK ON DE QUO (5) resumes today following a recent trial at Grafton, can figure in the finish. BELLZEN (2) reasonable effort first up last start, finishing fourth and beaten 2.75 lengths over 1000m at Casino. In the mix. HARE STREET (8) in the money two starts back at Murwillumbah but couldn't back that up when unplaced over 1000m at Casino last time. Can atone. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kirra's Sister to resume a winner.
