GOING: S(6)

YAMBA GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB COUNTRY BOOSTED MAIDEN PLATE 1100m

Track: SOFT 6   Clouds (Max: 27)   Rail: True.  

Expecting plenty of speed from Commedia, Egyptian Lass and Not So Dubious from Powerful Dolphins. COMMEDIA (11) comes up from Victoria and now in the Peter Sinclair yard. Given the two searching trials and can shed her Maiden status at start six. LORD OF FLAMES (5) in leading yard and resumes after showing ability in his three career starts last time in. Gelded over the break and primed for this with the two trials. Can roll forward from the draw and take holding out. AMAZIGH TORQUE (10) well bred Castelvecchio filly from the stakes winning dam Moroccan Rose on debut for the Matt Dunn yard. Latest trial at the Gold Coast had merit and ready to run a forward race. LOFTY MACSPORRAN (4) Highland Reel gelding out of Cruz De Vega on debut for the Matt Dunn yard. Hardly set the world alight in two trials and no shock to see him finish in the placings. MUSUMECI (2) resumes for the new stable and stays in the mix after his minor placing at Quirindi last May. SUGGESTED PLAY: Commedia and Lord Of Flames look too good for these.
