WILLIAMS SEEDERS COUNTRY BOOSTED CLASS 1 SHOWCASE HANDICAP 1400m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: True.  

They look to roll along early with Heta and Wolfcraig leading the charge. HETA (2) created a big impression at his second race start when sitting on the pace from the outside draw for a soft win over 1350m at Beaumont (Newcastle). Has the upside to go quickly through his grades and he gets the right run from the good gate. IT'S A WRITTEN (5) has an okay record at this track and will relish the solid tempo. Drifted back further than expected before making up good ground to secure fourth over this trip at Tamworth. Leading each-way prospect. WOLFCRAIG (1) improving gelding who gripped on late from the wide draw with a game second over 1400m at Tamworth. Steps up a level but sure to be thereabouts. DUNDEE TALES (3) strengthened over the break and is ready for this trip and further now third-up. Snagged back from the sticky gate before he launched late to finish third over 1312m at Coffs Harbour. Well placed from the good gate and has genuine claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Heta can keep the winning momentum going.
