CLEANPEAK ENERGY COUNTRY MAGIC CLASS 1 SHOWCASE HANDICAP 1100m

Track: SOFT 5   Clear (Max: 18)   Rail: True.  

Good pace from Race To Arms, Texas Open and Travelon Dory. CHAPPOLICIOUS (7) lightly raced filly with the upside to win this first-up. Shed her Maiden tag two-back, then went out hard early before tiring in the straight to run fifth over 1200m at Narromine last December. Returns with the slick 900m trial win. Can get the job done from the low draw. GO COMMANDO (5) fitter after two runs back and well placed with the good weight drop. Sat on the solid tempo with a handy sixth over 1200m at Wagga. Sure to be thereabouts despite drawing awkwardly. RACE TO ARMS (1) resumes from a lengthy break. Has shown above average ability in all three career starts and comes here with a searching 1000m trial placing under the belt. Leading contender. CHAMBER OF SECRETS (4) in strong country yard and had excuses first-up from the wide gate when tenth over 1100m at Armidale. Drawn out again and will appreciate the fast tempo. Place best. TRAVELON DORY (6) holding her form in easier company and gets map favours today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chappolicious can get the job done first-up from the low draw.
