GOING: G(4)

MTC LIFE MEMBER MARK HART COUNTRY BOOSTED CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 26)   Rail: +8m 1400m-W/Post, True Remainder.  

Texas Open, Screen Spirit and Sizzleist to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. ELASTANE MISS (2) was well supported fresh but just lacked a fitness edge late. Better for the run and can go one better. SIZZLEIST (4) got off the mark in style at Albury last time out and the form around her is stacking up nicely. Has been freshened with 52 days, keeping the legs ticking over with a trial. Finds a nice race to keep the ball rolling. WEAR THE CROWN (5) was a determined maiden winner before going to the paddock. Readied with a trial and gets the key booking of Boudvillain. Must take seriously. SCREEN SPIRIT (3) battled away soundly into fourth in testing conditions at Albury. Fitter now and is worth following up. SUGGESTED PLAY: Elastane Miss gets the nod.
