LIGHTNING RIDGE BOWLO/WALGETT RSL SHOWCASE SUPER MAIDEN PLATE 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 16)   Rail: True.  

Poshy's Girl is expected to burn across and lead from the wide alley. SPLASH OF STEEL (6) finds his race today third-up. Savaged the line with the 59kg for a narrow second over 1280m at Muswellbrook. Gets the gun run here and will take holding out over the 1400m. MR BOHEMIAN (14) improving gelding who found the line nicely second-up for a tough third over 1300m at Scone. Can race a touch closer from the inside gate and figure prominently. POSHY'S GIRL (13) has finished runner-up at all three outings and must overcome a difficult draw today. Sat on the speed and never gave up when second over 1250m at Taree. Has good early speed and should be able to hold a position from the gate. Each-way. NORTHERN EAGLE (4) ran a better race last start when he warmed up late to secure fourth over 1200m at this track on a heavy (9) surface. Place best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Splash Of Steel can get off the mark at start ten.
