GOING: G(3)

TAB COUNTRY BOOSTED BM 58 HCP 1000m

Track: FIRM 2   Clear (Max: 27)   Rail: True .  

Kirona Storm and Prestige Pak can be prominent. PRESTIGE PAK (2) slick Maiden winner two-back, before failing to handle the rise in trip when a wilting sixth over 1100m at Grafton. Trained on the track and finds an easier contest back to the 1000m. Hard to stop. MISS MAZERATI (4) ticks a few boxes today fourth-up. Went back from the outside draw and chipped away late with a respectable fifth over 1000m at Kempsey. Will appreciate the claim from the low gate and has strong each-way prospects. COSMIC FORTUNE (8) resumes with excellent fresh credentials on her home track. Wasn't asked to do much in her only trial over 1005m at this course. Will be charging late in a winnable contest. ZAINDARA (3) handy filly resuming. Failed to back-up her sound debut win when raced without luck to finish seventh over 1100m at Ipswich. Fitted with the one trial and keep safe with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 2,4,8,3.
