GOING: H(9)

STROUD HOMES COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE 1100m

Track: HVY8   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: +2m 1200m-400m .  

They should run this along with Millie's Memory and Airfield taking it up over Mogo Rock. MR BAZZA (2) has joined the Joseph & Jones stable since his last start back 27 days ago. The form out of his last start at Dubbo has stood up and coming back in trip looks a good move. Can sit handy and break his maiden. MILLIE'S MEMORY (7) was fancied on debut at Moruya but disappointed there and didn't pull up with an issue in the stewards report. Coming back to 1100m now should suit better and with a touch of luck from the draw, a much better run is expected. MOGO ROCK (8) hasn't been far away her past couple, finishing 1.8L off the winner at the Sapphire Coast last time out. Boudvillain rides now on the quick turnaround and she makes plenty of appeal. THE GLEN (5) creates some interest here on debut in a race that appears to lack depth. BRAVE XENA (9) is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mr Bazza makes the most appeal.
