GOING: G(4)

LUCKY MONEY COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN HANDICAP 1181m

Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 35)   Rail: +3m Entire.  

Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Zweigelt. ZWEIGELT (3) trialled well and jumped a $2.3F at Murwillumbah on debut and he found two better beaten 1.4L. Mallyon stays aboard and he can threaten with the extra fitness. HIGHLAND DANCER (4) was backed off the map just missing at Gunnedah on debut, and it was a tough effort after a slow off. Draws inside again and is an improver who is among the best chances. GRACEFUL WARRIOR 7) resumed here beaten 1.8L with the fitness giving out late. She's switched from a sharp Victorian yard and has more to give. Maps well and she also deserves consideration. REFEREES (1) trialled well before racing and then overcame difficulties in running to finish fourth on debut over 1100m at Murwillumbah. Will improve with the race experience on board. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zweigelt appeals.
