GOING: S(7)

TAB.COM.AU COUNTRY BOOSTED CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1280m

Track: SOFT 7   Clouds (Max: 14)   Rail: Out 5m 1200m-300m; Cutaway Applies; True Remainder.  

Not too much pace in this low-pressure affair. THIRTEEN UNDER (5) handy gelding resuming with a solid record. Got off the mark at start 10 at Mudgee over 1200m on February 25. Fitted with a soft trial and looks primed for this from the good draw. SOARING PHOENIX (3) raced in tougher company last time in and returned in good order with a gritty third over 1200m at Moree on June 4. In leading country stable and gets her chance from the good gate. FIORSUM FRED (1) fitter after three runs back and lone win came at this track. Big jump in grade when eighth over 1250m at Canterbury on June 10. Can bounce back here. SMART JAZZ (7) best performance for some time when he rattled late to finish third over 1250m at Taree on May 27. Rolls keeps the ride and has the numbers to figure prominently. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 5,3,1,7.
