GOING: S(5)

KITTY'S BAR CLUB SAPPHIRE COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE 1005m

Track: SOFT 5   Clouds (Max: 21)   Rail: +3m 800m - W/Post.  

Speed should be right on over the 1005m journey. STORMY REIGN (9) at her top third-up and due for a change of luck. Savaged the line with a narrow third over 1000m at this track as fav. Tempo suits and expected to get off the mark. REDS EXPRESS (8) eye-catching return from the long break with a tough second over 1000m here. Tongue-tie goes on and not without top-four prospects. ARTFUL LADY (7) returns after five months in the paddock. Placed on debut, then dropped out sharply with a poor tenth over 1180m at Gundagai last November. Back without a trial and finds a winnable race with the claim. ZEE SORT (6) four-year-old Tassort mare out of Zee on debut for the Clarke yard. Finished a close fourth in a recent 900m trial at Canberra. Respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stormy Reign can score a well deserved Maiden victory.
