BRIAN FLETCHER COUNTRY BOOSTED CLASS 2 HANDICAP 1000m

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

Keen speed battle, with Seymour Stars, Mawsons Expedition and Exceed Me prominent. COME ON GLAMOUR (7) consistent filly who made a mess of her rivals when leading throughout to score a sharp win over 1015m at Ballina as fav. Senior rider hops on for this and can get the job done in this tougher contest. EXCEED ME (8) racing well and rewarded for his consistency with a gritty win over 1000m at this track in fast time. Trained locally and has the speed to get across from the sticky draw. INTRODUCING (1) tough gelding who drops in grade after tiring late when fourth over 1205m at Coffs Harbour. Gets map favours and can take a hand in the finish. EX WIFE (3) has won two of his last three starts and no reason he can't continue the good form. Gets a better set-up from the draw and all his form is over this distance. Respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,8,1,3.
