GOING: G(4)

SCONE EQUINE HOSPITAL COUNTRY BOOSTED CLASS 1 HANDICAP 1100m

Track: Good 4   Clouds (Max: 19)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.75)  

Fast pace assured with Kakoda, Jagerschnitzel and Chains Of Love leading the charge. Very deep form race. RUBELIN (16) was taken to the lead in a new role last start then went on to dominate a maiden over this distance at Narromine. Has the speed to cross from a wide alley and with no weight on her back will be prominent for a long way again. JASIRA (7) justified her $1.28 quote with a soft maiden win last time out over 1000m at Taree. Never runs a bad race and at the third run back should be reaching her peak. Worth following. STARVERNA (11) met with strong support on debut recently over 1000m at Muswellbrook and after a few anxious moments was way too strong late. Will relish the extra 100m - watch for her to be storming home. CHAINS OF LOVE (10) last appeared when successful at Winx-like odds over 1200m here in October. Recent trial winner who just needs cover from a wide gate to be right in the finish. HANUMAN (2) goes fast and on recent form should prove difficult to get past. SUGGESTED PLAY: Rubelin each-way in a tough one for punters.
