GOING: G(4)

SEABREEZE HOTEL COUNTRY BOOSTED CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1450m

Track: GOOD 4   Clear (Max: 28)   Rail: True.  

Gold Sluice has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. GOLD SLUICE (1) didn't give his rivals a sniff last start at Taree when leading pillar-to-post. Has more under the bonnet and is a great chance to repeat the dose. UNREACHABLE (2) has savaged the line in her last two starts. Gets in low at the weights with the 2kg claimer engaged and will take plenty of stopping if close enough when turning. TOSEN DREAMER (4) is a consistent mare. Found the line nicely last start a Coffs Harbour when leaving herself with a fair bit to do when straightening. Drawn much kinder this time and has placed at both starts here. Expected to feature. FLYBALL (5) drops back in trip off 41-day freshen. Keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gold Sluice to win again.

Before that rolled along in front then was edged out late 2nd of 10 at Tuncurry Ctry Mdn-Sw on August 9 over 1205m, on a slow track; nose behind All Too Rosey carrying 59kg at $8.50. Rates highly. Terrific chance to repeat the dose.
